Typical Euclidean Zoning
Americas cities are anomalies. On the one hand, they house some of the greatest human accomplishments: museums that are full of artistic masterpieces, symphony halls that showcase musicians, dancers, and other performers, buildings that are architectural and technological marvels. On the other hand, those same cities also are home to human despair and depravity. People live in decayed and rat-infested buildings. Many, living in a drug-fogged world, prey on others for money to support their habits. Approximately 75 percent of Americans live in our cities and surrounding suburbs, and the characteristics of those cities inescapably affect the quality of their lives. This book examines the extent to which these Americans use the political process to control the characteristics of life in their metropolises.
