Paradise Plundered: Fiscal Crisis and Governance Failure in San Diego by Steven P. Erie, Vladimir Kogan, and Scott A. Mackenzie
Capturing the Public Interest: Using Newspaper Op-Eds to Promote Planning in Conservative Times
News media and newspaper op-eds in particular have played a significant role in the ascendancy of a free-market ideology during the past few decades, leading to the erosion of the regulatory function of government and the devaluation of planning. Here, the authors make the case that planners, especially planning academics with tenure, should become more engaged in the public debate about the role of government and public planning through the writ…

The Establishment of the San Diego Housing Trust Fund: Lessons for Theory and Practice
In this paper we give an example of a successful interventionist approach in equity planning by presenting the course of action taken, the strategies chosen, the resources utilized, and the skills exhibited by the planners of the City of San Diego Housing Commission in their successful effort to establish a housing trust fund in that city. We suggest that progressive planners can develop and implement redistributive plans under conditions of adve…
Growth Machines and Ballot Box Planning: The San Diego Case

Growth conflicts in San D…

The major contradiction centers around the necessity for a more rational urban development and the private control of urban land. The conflicts generated by this contradiction arc seen as historically s…
