No, here is what is happening in my county.
The county, which issues building permits, only issues permits for a tiny handful of single family homes to be built each year, so even though they are the most desirable properties, they are becomine as rare as diamonds here. So, especially for young people, their first homes are in stack and pack smart growth projects.
They can't accrue equity and move up because they don't own the stack and pack apartment and can't own houses that are priced sky high because of the restricted markets without equity.
The state is forcebly relocating people. They decide where the stack and pack developments are built(always on a rail line or bus terminal), they decide what kind of housing is built, and the covenents are actually between the developer and the state, not the renter and the apartment building owner. Since the state is building this housing to protect the world for "future generations" this kind of housing blackmail will never stop as long as we have corrupt politicians funding smart growth. Another form of coercion, the federal government withholding road and freeway funds, unless smart growth housing is built.
One more coercion that occurs, is that the planners design the workplaces into these smart growth developments. In that, they control what kinds of businesses can be operated, who can run them, and how big they can be. Its total economic control from jobs to transportation to housing. It is the soviet union reborn, and you can't get away from it in this country anymore.

Missouri 2005 Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). It supports production agriculture and environmental quality as compatible goals. Through EQIP, producers may receive financial and technical assistance with structural and management conservation practices on agricultural land.
EQIP was reauthorized in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill) and is administered by NRCS. Information about EQIP in Missouri is detailed below. NRCS, Farm Service Agency (FSA), University Extension, or your local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) can provide more information. All Missouri sign-ups are conducted at USDA Service Centers. Your local USDA Service Center agencies are also listed in the telephone book under United States Government, Department of Agriculture.
Missouri’s EQIP program is developed using locally led conservation through Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Missouri State Technical Committee. The Missouri State Technical Committee is composed of individuals who represent a variety of natural resource sciences and occupations including agricultural producers, agribusiness, nonprofit organizations, state and federal agencies. National priorities and national measures are an important consideration in EQIP program development.
Eligible conservation practices, financial assistance (cost share and incentive rates), local priorities, scoresheet ranking criteria, and scoresheet ranking points have all been reviewed and are used in the development of Missouri’s EQIP program. Based on the 2004 EQIP year, Missouri expects to fund 40 to 60 percent of 2005 EQIP applications.
