Richard Florida is Canadian and considered one of the premier writers on cities in the world. This helps explain the divide in where we live in America.




How Land-Use Restrictions Make Places Tilt Left

Communities with strict land-use restrictions don’t just attract more Democrats, a new study finds. They also shut out people who tend to vote Republican.

I remember The Obama Administration and The Justice Department tried having that talk ... and guess what happened? :rolleyes:

So now it's worth discussing?

Why Now?

I will bet 5 minutes ago you never heard of this man:

Florida's ideas have been criticized from a variety of political perspectives and by both academics and journalists. His theories have been criticized as being elitist, and his conclusions have been questioned.[7] Researchers have also criticized Florida's work for its methodology. Terry Nichols Clark of the University of Chicago used Florida's own data to question the correlation between the presence of significant numbers of gay men in a city and the presence of high-technology knowledge industries.[8] Harvard economist Edward Glaeser analyzed Florida's data and concluded that educational levels, rather than the presence of bohemians or gay people, is correlated with metropolitan economic development.[9] Other critics have said that the conditions it describes may no longer exist, and that his theories may be better suited to politics, rather than economics.[10] Florida has gone on to directly reply to a number of these objections.[11]

I've followed his work for years, but sure, never heard of him until five minutes ago. But congrats again on not discussing the topic.

The discussion is worth having today just as it's been every day in the past. Why would you not want to have it? Why do you think these progressive cities have land use laws that need the federal government to step in and stop this essentially discrimination?

I've posted many times about the racist history of zoning laws. But many of those same laws are in place in many cities today and used to protect single family home owners yet you ask why we still want to discuss it. Why wouldn't we?

It's all about the Rich and White Elitists!

I have no idea what you're talking about when you label cities by politics ...

Are you saying all the People who live in the South, are Conservatives?

You live in/near Chicago, follow politics, but have no idea that Chicago has has a Democratic Mayor since maybe the 1920's? Or that the city counsil is dominated by Democrats? Or that most other big cities around the country are dominated by Democratic politicians? That's a surprise to you?

And it's the whole purpose of this thread and the article I posted. I find it difficult to believe this is news to you. And the point being these politically progressive dominated cities enact zoning laws that increase inequality and segregation.
