Jane Galt argues that Smart Growth is, "to a large extent, a fantasy."
"Smart growth is great if you are an upscale professional, preferably without children, who can score a relatively large apartment fairly close to work. It's a lot less fun for the majority trying to cram your family into four or five rooms...The fact is, public transportation is an absolute failure everywhere it has been tried except for cities which grew up around a public transportation network in the pre-automobile era...Putting a monorail in LA is not going to make Angelenos live like Manhattanites. "
