What do you think that no planning authority achieves? The majority of actual high density cities that got that way in the last 100 years have been pretty highly planned. The best low planning examples of recent years have generally been suburban.
Got a counterexample?
- jeffbee 6y agoI didn’t say that planning shouldn’t exist. I think most of the powers should be reserved by the state, though.
- dalbasal 6y agoI misunderstood.
- sokoloff 6y agoI disagree with that position, but I concur that the residents of the state could vote to give that power unilaterally to the state [in a way that the federal government could not seize that power from the states, at least in theory if we followed the Constitution]. I think that decisions should be as locally as is feasible, whether that's individual, family, neighborhood, town/city, county, state, or federally only as a last resort.
- jeffbee 6y agoThe state constitution already favors the state wherever there is conflict. If the state passed a law that anyone could build such-and-such thing, that would preempt any and all city laws.
