Group Meets in Portland to Point Out Its So-Called Flaws
A small group of libertarians, property rights activists and others convene in Portland to decry Smart Growth.
"The Preserving the American Dream conference wrapped up Sunday, sending about 75 participants back to their hometowns to fight the philosophy known as 'smart growth.' " Organized by economist Randal O'Toole and the Preserving the American Dream Coalition, the conference in Portland focused on criticisms of government subsidies for high-density housing and transit-oriented development. "Many conference participants said they were curious about Portland and want to make sure their cities don't emulate its growth patterns."
