Dave "The Edge" Evans and his quest to give sustainable housing to the poor millionaires of Malibu.

The business side of U2 and manager Paul McGuinness stays largely hidden from public view.

And it's probably foolish for me to hope for this, but I wish that The Edge would consider a retreat from Malibu and build affordable, sustainable, environmentally-correct housing for the poor and lower middle-class.

This would be a goal more in keeping with the public, humanitarian image often espoused by U2 and its ONE campaign.
