Karen - Very good stuff. It's obviously about taking land-use *planning* seriously and having a planning regime.
But this is all so wishy-washy and not nearly as VIRILE or exciting as the thrusting forward of unfettered GROWTH. I do mean seriously that there is a gendered element here - planning is housekeeping, managing a domestic space, whereas entrepreneurial empire-building is a swashbuckling hard-nosed un-sheltered encounter with REALITY. I'll make the world, you wash up. (Our politics is overly dominated by swashbucklers *and* some would say that parliamentary systems with first-past-the-post electoral schemes are strongly *biased* in favour of swashbucklers & bullies.) Anyway, I will catch my breath now. I asked: > Has anyone done this proper kind of "social cost" > accounting? In your dispatch you mention > ... The New Rules web site ... [whose] banner reads > Designing Rules as if Community Matters. > (see www.newrules.org) and somewhere in the back of my memory is a booklet or book by David Ross (in Ottawa) called *Economics as if Communities Matter* or something like that. Arthur, you know David I think. Is this correct? Is the text on-line somewhere? (If you know then I/we don't have to search.) Thanks, Stephen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vancouver, B.C.
