Arizona's Failing Smart Growth Strategy

"Six years after Arizonans began searching for a way to cure growth's ills while still nurturing its rewards, almost nothing about living inAmerica's boom belt has changed. The state's growth managementpolicy is an intensely local, street-level approach that gives towns andcities some valuable tools, such as the ability to slow leapfrogdevelopment and impose impact fees, but lacks an over-archingframework and can't be enforced."
