Ted Howard is the guest blogger this month at onthecommons.org.
In his post Can We Prevent the Enclosure of Our
Cities? he examines the increasing gap between housing prices and
affordability and suggests that without action we will see something of a
medieval renaissance in the economies of our greatest North American cities. (The irony is that, of course, the greater the city, the more people who want to live there and thus the quicker the devolution of quality of life).
The antidote? He proposes the idea of Community
Land Trusts.
