Foundation misses the point on sprawl.
Harrisburg think tank. In fact, celebrate. In a sure sign that the effort to curb inefficient suburban development is gaining traction, the Commonwealth Foundation has issued a broadside against it. About the worst thing that could happen, the conservative think tank says, would be for Pennsylvania lawmakers to enact measures to gum up the housing market mechanisms that produce cornfield subdivisions and 8 a.m. gridlock. In other words, a pox on regional planning, on growth boundaries, on new defenses against the lawsuits that developers file to elude zoning rules.
