These people are on my personal enemies list:

American Planning Association

Smart Growth Online

Here are a couple of good articles that indicts both Smart Growth and light rail: Dense Thinkers: The New Urban Planning Nightmare by Randal O'Toole, REASON, January 1999

The Pleasantville Solution - The war on "sprawl" promises "livability" but delivers repression, intolerance--and more traffic.

And any "public meeting demands that this gem be reposted: So, Have You Been Delphi'd?

See post #25.

metesky, thanx for the good links. SG is segregation and death for small towns: it locks out the young and the low income from home ownership. It discourages industry and therefore jobs. It discourages discount retailers and forces people to pay more for goods/food while replacing hundreds of jobs with a few part time jobs available only to the owners of the small retailers. It is the first step towards collectivism.

I hate these control freaks!
