Smart Growth: Choices or Profits

The disappearing American Dream:
It's not because Americans don't dream anymore.  

• Who is driving the high-density transformation of cities?  
• What is happening to single family homes in the inner city?  (Like Portland's bungalow/streetcar neighborhoods.)
• Who is benefiting from Smart Growth? 
• What is happening to established neighborhoods?
• How do businesses at some transit areas succeed while at other areas they fail to take hold?
• Do we need planners to promote theoretical growth models, or should the market decide what works best?
• What can citizens do to re-establish control over the future of their towns?  
• What is happening to Americans' choice Bout where and how they live?q

All good questions.  Watch this 6-minute video from Reason TV and then think about each question.
