I haven't heard of the organization either, but the author of the article has impeccable credentials:

Previously, he had been a Washington correspondent with Investor’s Business Daily; housing and urban affairs policy analyst with The Heritage Foundation; and an assistant professor of urban and regional planning at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
