In Smart Growth’s Misunderstood Message, Washington Post columnist Roger K. Lewis writes:

“In the rancorous political environment of this year’s presidential election campaign, American voters seem to be polarized as never before. In the environment of real estate development and land-use planning, opinions about “smart growth” are becoming just as polarized.

Smart growth proponents and opponents are drawing ever sharper lines, honing ever narrower definitions and more assertively taking sides. “Either with me or against me” attitudes seem to prevail among both advocates and critics.”
