@NoahCRothman @charliespiering larger point is that more towns should be employing these design concepts. That solves affordability prob.

@mattklewis Restrictive policies force more people into core and prices go up. Higher demand = higher price.@NoahCRothman@charliespiering -
@kerpen@NoahCRothman@charliespiering Who said anything about forcing ppl into the core? I'm saying more towns should have mixed-use zoning -
@mattklewis What city's "smart growth" or "new urbanism" policies do you like?@NoahCRothman@charliespiering -
@kerpen@NoahCRothman@charliespiering Mixed-use zoning, for example. (Sprawl wasn't created by the free market, but by gov't intervention.) -
@mattklewis It's catching on here in suburban VA. More townhomes, walkable areas. Keeps taxes lower.@kerpen@NoahCRothman@charliespiering
