Very interesting to see the different land use patterns in other areas of the country. This is a high quality site, though I don't know if it is particularly useful for this course. Most of the information found on this server involves issues concerning housing, community development, economic development, and many other related issues. I think that this a particularly helpful and informative site. The information seems to be directed to housing and community developers and policymakers.
Some articles are very technical and supported with graphs, data, maps, and pictures.
This is a great site where one can keep up to date with upcoming land use issues and policy, as well as obtain ideas about what other communities have done to overcome land use obstacles. The site talked about the BLM managing 270 million surface acres of land using the ecosystem approach. The BLM administers public lands with a framework of laws provided in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The site lists state offices, offers a national map with points of interest, and provides a calendar of upcoming events. This is a great source of information, and it would be useful to other students who want to understand the federal level of land use and the federal laws in which they must work.
