"Despite what some studies suggest ---- that growth-control measures are provincial measures that hurt local economies ---- neighborhood activists have lobbied for passage of the initiatives in a number of cities in San Diego and Riverside counties. And those activists show no signs of slowing down. Just as planners prepare to go to the San Diego Association of Governments board Friday to present a new report that, again, concludes the region cannot substantially slow growth, they are doing so against the backdrop of growth-control proposals that continue to surface."
