Dr. Howard Frumkin responds to last week's editorial by the Reason Foundation, "Smart growth types' dumb rhetoric."
"Increasingly, public health and environmental professionals are asking whether urban sprawl may have health costs. This is a plausible concern... For several years, I've been studying the ways we design and build communities, from a medical and public health perspective. I've read a lot of 'smart growth' publications. Not even one has advocated forcing people to live in particular ways. Indeed, smart growth is about expanding choice -- offering people walkable, mixed-use communities as an alternative to spread-out suburbs. No social engineering there."
