Back in the Air Again

The Antiplanner is flying to Texas today for a busy week of conferences and speeches. My presentations will vary but all will at least touch on a variety of recent transportation and land-use issues including housing affordability, rail transit, and curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

Tomorrow, I’ll join faithful allies Wendell Cox and Sam Staley in speaking to the Home Ownership and Land Affordability Coalition tomorrow. The event will take place at the San Antonio Country Club from 11:45 to 2:00 pm. My particular talk will focus on problems with Portland’s smart-growth policies. If you would like to attend, contact Jeff Judson at 210-822-1292 or email jeff@jeffjudson.com.

On Wednesday, Wendell, Sam, and I will be joined by Ron Utt and Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Todd Staples in speaking at an afternoon conference sponsored by Houstonians for Responsible Growth. My talk will focus on free-market alternatives to smart growth. If you are in Houston, please register for the conference.

    LMAO! None the less, I might try to make it down there to catch this one. I’ve never seen the Antiplanner in live action.

  2. Andy says:

    I guess bennett is laughing about how the Antiplanner would speak in a recreational facility that was not created by government planning. After all, according to the planners, only government can create recreational facilities and other amenities.

    What would be just as funny is if the Antiplanner personally used railroads and bicycles, and that he only opposes the obscene subsidies their advocates try to extract.

    It’s funny, cm’on. The Land Affordability Coalition meets at the San Antonio Country Club? That’s like bible study at a gay bar. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but it’s funny.

    Free market alternatives to smart growth…

    Why haven’t I seen anything like that on this site? It actually sounds interesting. I’d rather read something like that other than your daily assault on Portland, transit, and greenhouse gas emissions.

    ws,

    actually, what some forms of smart growth (not the fake branding some developers use) expect the market to dictate density and road widths/design. Of course, markets can’t provision ecosystem services and these must be designed in, but it is a fallacy when someone argues about ‘free market alternatives’, as good SG depends upon markets to work. But you knew that already.
