As a note, did anyone else notice that the link from the article to the comments doesn’t work? Sends me back to the article.
More on topic though, this seems like a win-win. Get those people away from Burning Man and off onto their own thing, unless I’m missing something.
Never been to Burning Man (I am far too pale and too boring) but it seems like letting people like that split off from the herd is a net benefit.
