Strengthen and Direct Development Towards
Existing Communities
The word “Direct” can be translated into the word “Force.” This is the heart of the Smart Growth movement: Force development to “infill” rather than to “sprawl.” If these policies were implemented across our country, millions of Americans would never realize their dream of living outside of a town or city in a suburban or country setting. For an elite group, many of whom actually live on large rural lots themselves, to promote and in fact dictate Smart Growth to so many contrary to their desires makes one wonder if these elitists truly believe in a free country.
