True enough. The question becomes to what degree -- especially in relation other factors -- an Urban Growth Boundary impacts housing availability/costs. Additionally, it's a question of justice. Can the acknowledged environmental benefits of an artificial restraint on growth be delivered in a manner that does differentially, negatively impact low income communities and communities of color? I say that they can, if and only if those communities are empowered to access and impact growth mgmt decisionmaking. Finally, we must recall the environmental justice impacts of sprawl: the flight of resources, economic opportunity, and environmental quality to the surburban fringe -- leaving behind the concentrations of poverty so often present in our inner cities.
