{"product_id":"war-on-the-dream-wendell-cox-9780595399482","title":"War on the Dream: How Anti-Sprawl Policy Threatens the Quality of Life","description":"People around the world associate the \"universal dream of home ownership\" with an unprecedented improvement in quality of life. But there is a war on this dream, the result of policies that seek to control urban sprawl or suburbanization. The proponents and governments that implement such anti-suburban policies do so with little debate and virtually without any serious analysis of the consequences.\u003cp\u003e Anti-suburban policies outlaw development on large swaths of land, creating scarcity and increasing housing prices. This means less home ownership in the future and less wealth creation. Anti-suburban policies hopelessly seek to force people to use mass transit instead of cars, while failing to build roadway capacity to accommodate rising demand. The result is more intense traffic congestion, air pollution, and less productive urban areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Author Wendell Cox takes a closer look at this growing problem in \u003ci\u003eWar on the Dream: How Anti-Sprawl Policy Threatens the Quality of Life.\u003c\/i\u003e With most of the world still living in relative poverty, it is clear that neither economic growth nor wealth creation can be taken for granted. Anti-suburban policies must be rejected and repealed. Only by such actions will national economies and their urban areas be positioned to ensure that future generations have a better quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendell Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595399487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595399482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Wendell Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054849192191,"sku":"9780595399482","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91d794f3-92f1-4139-9bd7-8895e285ba0c.jpg?v=1685032356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-on-the-dream-wendell-cox-9780595399482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
