When Myron Met the Antiplanner

Some two weeks ago, the Antiplanner met regionalist Myron Orfield in a debate over the question, “What is the appropriate role of government in land-use regulation?” A member of the Sensible Land Use Coalition, which sponsored the event, recorded the discussion and asked me to post it to Youtube.

To avoid an overly long video, I elected to post it in four parts. Part 1, above, shows the introductions and my presentation (also available as a 10.5-MB PDF).

Part four, the longest video, has the question-and-answer session.

    The Sensible Use Coalition is headquartered in Excelsior, a far flung suburb of the Twin Cities.

    The septic system issue is well, a bit like arguing that since in theory a scrape could result in an infection that could maybe possibly turn into a really serious infection that in the off chance that Pluto is in retrograde with Venus on the 18th day of the 7th month of the year, could result in the need to amputate a limb, we need to the Met Council. There is no empirical evidence that there is a problem with wells and septic systems in terms of pollution. Of course, one of the carrots that the Met Council has for control involves water and sewer systems.

    Mr. Orfield is correct in that cities shouldn’t be able to use zoning to prevent more dense development. What he fails to share is that those developments require city water and city sewer. The Met Council has consistently insisted that areas that don’t currently have it still _wait_ to develop at a density that requires those services despite there being _today_ developers who would like to develop the land without them. Of course not having those services, they’re looking to develop at a density less than what Metro Council desire.

    Mr. Orfield incorrectly claims that Salt Lake City and Denver don’t have growth boundaries. Only in the most technical definitions of that term do they not. They have controls in place that are at least akin to them, if not absolutely having them.
