Poor Americans have lost 47% of their net worth since 2001, while the wealthy watched their income triple in the same time period. This kind of inequality is destroying our society. So what's making this happen? And how do we fix it?
I think this is a well written piece. In Texas, the state actually hamstrings what municipalities and counties can do and not do on land use. It can make for some strange bedfellows, i.e., strip mines next to neighborhoods, etc.. Can you tell me if you looked at specific regions here or was this more of a general analysis about local governments? I enjoyed the read. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed the article! This was more of a macro look at the U.S. as a whole, but a lot of the underlying research is based on land use in a little over half a dozen American cities spanning New England to the West Coast. I also spent most of my life in Arizona and Georgia, both of which seem to fall in line with my research about other regions.
