Immigration Reform By Smart Growth

Smart Growth is a "planning and transportation theory that concentrates growth in the center of a city to avoid urban sprawl; and advocates compact, transit-oriented, walkable, bicycle-friendly land use, including neighborhood schools, streets that work for everyone, mixed-use development with a range of housing choices."

Smart Growth is also Dennis Bowen of Double Dagger. He is a man who really likes The Police and maybe a little Big Beat.

Downloadable Boots... Authorized Live Recordings (thanks to the original taper):
