Hot Real Estate Markets Are Driving Sprawl

"In the worst-case scenario, social stratification intensifies, the economy is drained of its diversity, and suburban towns turn inward as exclusive enclaves - so much so that a family sues, alleging that it is being deprived of constitutional guarantees for at least a shot at the American dream.

That's what happened in New Jersey, where judges tell wealthy communities they must build thousands of units of more-dense housing, and they don't really care if residents say the projects will worsen traffic or overburden schools."
