No matter where I work after dentaquest (which God willing will be soon), I swear I will NEVER complain about my job. My worst day anywhere else would still be heaven compared to the torture that is dentaquest
management is incompetent. hr worthless and condescending. bullying is an everyday occurrence. raises are pathetic. there is no company morale, and everyone there is simply there for the paycheck and I would not recommend working here to anyone. It used to be somewhat tolerable, but gets worse by the day.
it is pointless. no one listens nor do they care.

Army colonel hands over command of DLA Central in Tampa
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Eric Gardner, DLA Central
Navy Rear Adm. Vincent Griffith, director of Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Operations, traveled to MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, June 20 to preside as Army Col. Mark McCormick passed command of DLA Central to Army Col. Derrin Williams.
Griffith praised the DLA Central workforce, saying DLA Central makes "it happen for our warfighters in the Middle East, providing food, fuel, repair parts, construction equipment and other sustainment items."
DLA Central has continued "to amaze me with their logistics expertise and let's get it done attitude, led by their terrific leader, Col. McCormick," Griffith continued.
McCormick has served as the DLA Central commander since 2012. After turning over the reins of the organization, McCormick will retire from active duty after 28 years of service. During his tenure as commander, McCormick presided over DLA Central's support to the U.S. State Department in its continuing mission in Iraq while overseeing DLA's support to the drawdown, redeployment and retrograde effort in Afghanistan.
Williams comes to DLA as an experienced Army logistician with a strong background in U.S. central Command gained through numerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also brings a strategic perspective from his studies at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. Williams said he is prepared to lead DLA Central into the next phase of logistics support to the USCENTCOM area of operations as the U.S. turns over security responsibilities to Afghan forces and prepares for other contingencies.
Attendees at the ceremony included were Army Maj. Gen. Aundre Piggee, USCENTCOM's director of logistics, engineering and contracting, as well as his deputy, Scott Anderson.

Georgia O'Keeffe Background and Influences Georgia O'Keeffe was born in1887on a farm in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. After high school, she went to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1912 she went to Texas to teach high school art. Her methods were often unconventional. She once coaxed a pony onto a table so her class could draw him! While she was living in Texas, O'Keeffe began developing her artistic style. She eventually traveled to New York to attend Columbia Teachers College. Without her knowledge, a friend showed some her work to Alfred Stieglitz. He was a famous photographer and had an art gallery. He was so impressed with her work that he included some in an exhibit. She was furious. But, eventually the two became close friends and she became part of his circle of artist friends when few women artists were taken seriously. They later married. In 1929, she visited a friend in New Mexico. This experience changed her life and work. She fell in love with the atmosphere and colors of the desert. Objects symbolizing her new world became her primary subjects. Sun bleached animal skulls, flowers, hills and the desert sky just to name a few. O'Keeffe would later move to New Mexico permanently. During the 1970's "back-to-nature philosophies and growing women's movement made her very popular. She died in 1986 at the age of 98 One of Georgia O'Keeffe's favorite techniques was to monumentalize small, natural objects like flowers and bones. She did this by enlarging and cropping their shapes so they would fill a large canvas. "I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty." Georgia O'Keeffe The Project 1. Find a colored picture of a flower. Avoid roses and tiny composite type flowers which are very difficult to draw. 2. On the provided page in your journal create 3 thumbnail sketches of possible compositions. Remember to enlarge, crop and create negative shapes. 3. Get your composition approved. 4. Use a white colored pencil to LIGHTLY draw the basic shapes of your flower on the black paper provided. 5. Paint the drawing using basic colors. You can paint some extreme lights and darks but NO details yet. 6. After the paint is dry, add fine value changes and details using chalk pastel 7. Use a cover sheet to prevent smearing.

Startup bank plans to target well-heeled customers in downtown
Group of bank veterans seeks to raise $23.6M to $35M in private offering
- Mark Anderson
- Staff writer
Organizers of a new local bank plan to set their roots in deposit-rich downtown Sacramento with a well-connected, veteran team and a goal to expand.
Holding company Golden Pacific Bancorp started forming last year, and the proposed Golden Pacific Bank is awaiting regulatory approval from the federal Office of Thrift Supervision to begin raising up to $35 million.
Downtown, by far the richest neighborhood in the region by deposits, is home to politicians and lobbyists along with the businesses and associations that serve and seek access to the Capitol. Golden Pacific has built a board of directors that reflects the players who fill the offices and corridors downtown.
"They have experienced executives in there and a strong board that is very Sacramento-centric," said James Beckwith, chief executive of Five Star Bancorp. "They are going to be able to compete from day one with the majors — with the Wells Fargos, Bank of Americas and the Comericas of the world," he said.
Downtown Sacramento's 95814 ZIP code has the area's largest concentration of wealth, with $6 billion in deposits at 26 branches, according to the most recent data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. That's about one out of every five dollars on deposit throughout the four-county Sacramento region.
And downtown is right where founding chief executive Kirk Dowdell wants to be; the small businesses-and-associations niche will give the bank a solid base to start with as it opens operations.
Dowdell is the former chief executive of Western Sierra National Bank, which was bought two years ago by Umpqua Bank. Roy Malone, who was in charge of the mortgage division of Western Sierra, will be president of Golden Pacific.
Shopping for investors
Organizers will try to raise $23.6 million to $35 million for the holding company. It would be a private offering, open only to accredited investors. About $20 million of the startup money would capitalize the bank, and the rest would be held in the holding company, which could fund expansion plans, said Larry Kurmel, chairman of the holding company and proposed bank. The minimum investment is $100,000 and the maximum $2.5 million.
Organizers said there is institutional interest in investing in the bank. If the offering is oversubscribed, Dowdell said, local investors would be accepted first.
"To have local investors is most important. That is the point," Dowdell said.
The company structure takes a back-to-basics approach, Kurmel said. The bank would have commercial lending and cash management operations, as well as a mortgage operation, which is somewhat unusual for a startup bank. Mortgage and commercial operations of banks tend to run counter-cyclically, so having both in the same institution provides some balance.
In addition to balance, the different product lines allow the bank to serve more customers, said John Kay, a veteran commercial lender who will be in charge of the commercial lending side of the bank. Business customers generate loans for the mortgage side, and the mortgage side provides business leads. If done correctly, all departments can work together, Kay said.
The bank is taking the unusual step of getting its charter from the Office of Thrift Supervision. Among other things, the OTS allows the bank to open with a holding company from day one. The holding company structure was important for the bank's long-term strategy, Kurmel said, because it makes it easier to buy banks or open new ones in other communities.
Kurmel said he wants to put community banks in areas that have lost their locally focused banks, a common situation as national and regional banks have expanded through acquisitions. In any community where he opens a bank, Kurmel said, the local board will reflect that community.
The only other local OTS-regulated bank is El Dorado Savings Bank, founded in 1957. "There is supposed to be more flexibility in the OTS charter," said Tom Meuser, chief executive of El Dorado Savings Bank.
Building trust
While the national economy is wobbly and big banks struggle, a startup bank with a clean slate free of problem loans is appealing, Dowdell said.
After all the problems the large banks have created, people want to do business with a bank they can understand and people they know, Kay said. Even some community banks are struggling with loan problems, which keeps their executives focused inward, he said.
"There is a fallout from the big banks. People are attracted to community banks again. They want a bank they can walk into, they can see it. It is there in the community," said Kay, who has worked for Imperial Bank, Commerce Security Bank and Bridge Bank.
Kurmel has been toying with the idea of a Sacramento-based community bank holding company for years. Dowdell started putting together his plan in October 2007, and the two of them began assembling a plan and the team.
"It is all about the people, and this is a great team," Kurmel said.

Tablet Publications
|Cape Town, London, New York
|Digital Publishing, DRM[disambiguation needed] Tools, eReader Software
Snapplify is a comprehensive platform for aggregation, reading and retail of digital books, magazines and newspapers that was launched in 2011 at the Frankfurt Book Fair.[1] It is based in South Africa, with offices in London and New York and partners in Australia, Europe, North America, and Africa.[2] Snapplify provide tablet and mobile applications as well as browser based web readers to publishers and content producers who want to sell their content digitally.[3] Their apps have built in readers that allow app users to read or access the content without being concerned whether their device can support the content type. These apps have enabled publishers to sell content to Android and iOS users,[4] as well as to PC and Mac users via their browsers. Their latest venture has been to supply the Academic Industry with a digital publishing solution that includes Educational Tools within mobile applications best suited to enhance the educational aspect of the content.[5]
How it works[edit]
Publishers and content producers can choose to digitally publish and sell their content via their own eBook store from a mobile app with their own branding, or from a web store accessible on PCs and Macs. The Snapplify eReader enables users to immediately access and read the content they have purchased. Users can buy vouchers or subscribe on the publishers private website and simply login to the Snapplify app or purchase single items or subscriptions of content directly within the app. The web store works the same as the mobile app, subscriptions and all purchases made are accessible across both mobile and web store as all user purchases are tied to the user profile.
Snapplify provides clients with a mobile (app) or web-based store from which to sell their digital newspapers, and magazines. Clients can add content themselves via the online CMS platform that Snapplify runs on. Content is immediately available for purchase and downloading by users. Users can view free content, or purchase single titles or subscriptions and immediately view them on the provided eReader, available on both mobile and web. Users login with a username and password to access content on a subscription, this enables multiple users on a shared device to access their subsequent purchased content.
eBook Store[edit]
Publishers can sell their eBooks from their own Web Store online, and their readership need to download the Snapplify Reader to their Android or Apple device to read the books. Publishers can also sell vouchers, which when redeemed will give their customers access to the eBooks attached to the voucher.
eBook Reader[edit]
The mobile app is equipped with a mobile eReader that supports any content that is sold in the mobile store. The web reader allows users to read their content on their PCs and Mac computers via a browser. Some clients offer the same service for mobile and the web so that users can access their content on both devices by using their login details.The mobile Reader app has a full range of academic tools designed to transform textbooks, students can make notes on shared mobile devices as well as bookmarks, share pages, and highlight. This eReader software is supported across multiple platforms and integrates with student sign in, which allows data to be stored safely in the Snapplify Cloud servers. The Reader has been made PXE compliant.
The digital publishing mobile solution supports other DRM services, but Snapplify have developed their own DRM tool called SnappSafe DRM. This software prevents unauthorised access and distribution as the content is encrypted. The major differences between this particular DRM and other popular tools is that it does not require licenses for a mobile reader or a content server, as well as being developed to specially support embedded and streamed video and audio, and right to left ordered content for Arabic or Hebrew users (due to their foreign language template support). The SnappSafe DRM passed the strict international security audit set out by [Pearson Publishing] and is also [PXE] compliant.
eLearning Content Cloud[edit]
Snapplify have branched into the education sector by offering schools a platform for their students and teachers to purchase or share content. Everything shared or bought via the Content Cloud is available to read on browsers, via Mac and PC computers, and Apple and Android mobile devices. Schools in South Africa and South America are adopting the eLearning Content Cloud to give their school's a technological edge and enable digital learning.
The SnappBox distribution hardware was launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2014. The SnappBox enables easy, bulk eBook distribution within schools and has helped rural schools embrace eBooks and improved user experience overall.
eBook Aggregation[edit]
This service enables publishers to sell their eBooks in bulk to an established distribution channel of institutions, schools, and retailers signed on by Snapplify. Publishers give Snapplify the license to retrieve their content directly from their servers, apply SnappSafe DRM to it, and sell it for them. Publishers benefit from this established aggregation service that has little to no setup fees or administration hassles. Multiple publishers are already signed up to aggregate their eBooks via Snapplify, these include Oxford University Press SA, Pearson Education SA, Macmillan SA, Van Schaik Publishers, Via Afrika, Cambridge University Press, and many more large and small publishing houses.
Since their launch Snapplify has been reported to have released a foreign language template[6] which enables foreign content publishers to digitally publish and sell in their own language in an app and eReader that supports multi-character sets. Already being noted as the largest digital mobile apps provider in Africa and the Middle East[7] it has also taken on multiple international clients, including working with digital cartoon publisher Kaboom! Studios[8] from California, and Aadarsh Publishers[9] from India.
Before Snapplify was one year old they had reached 10 000 downloads[10] and before they were two years into business they had won a start-up Entrepreneurial competition known as Launch Cape Town,[11] a global start-up competition.
In November 2014, Snapplify won a prestigious publishing award at the FutureBook Innovation Awards for the Best Technology Innovation[12] for their eBook Distribution Hardware: the SnappBox.[13]
AngelHub Ventures, a Venture Capital company backed by former First National Bank CEO Michael Jordaan and the Harris family (RMB Co-Founder, Paul Harris' family fund), announced its investment in Snapplify in February 2015.[14]
Snapplify is one of the largest aggregators of Arabic content, and have passed the international security audit set out by Pearson Publishing.
They were finalists in the Global Entrepreneurship competition in Barcelona. They are ranked in the Top 25 PWC Vision to Reality Awards,[15] and were finalists in the Book Expo America start up challenge.[16]

Ten questions to assess how to improve upon past performance to get better future results in e-mail marketing.
What I love most about e-mail is that you can test any idea and know whether it works within 24 hours.
As a copywriter and creative consultant, I've sat at endless meetings in the past where I've thrown out any number of good ideas only to have the client say, "That will never fly."
Now with e-mail, I can say, "Let's test it." And soon we find that the idea not only has wings, but also the legs to turn into a profitable, long-term campaign.
Simple e-mail tests have uncovered new audience segments, developed new messaging, and forged new strategic directions.
Recently, I used the lessons learned in e-mail to develop a new 2009 marketing strategy for a large organization. When the client gasps and vigorously nods in agreement as you cast the spotlight on new data, you know you're onto something good.
Here are the questions I asked while reviewing two years worth of e-mail results for my client:
What's interesting about this approach is that it's a "bottom-up" strategy. Instead of working with lofty creative and marketing recommendations handed down by the advertising agency, this approach offers a true reflection of what's actually working on the ground. The key messages and sales techniques that test well with actual customers and prospects can then be filtered up and reflected in your bigger branding campaigns.
Not to mention, it's the cheaper way to go -- which might get your CMO's attention.

Ex-Fox anchor can't wait to spill her secretMay. 27, 2010
Robservations on the media beat:
- Barely three months after losing her job as news anchor and reporter at Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32, Nancy Loo is getting ready for her closeup. On her ChicagoNow blog and Facebook page Wednesday, Loo told the world: "Yes, I've landed a job, but have had to keep it a secret.' Admittedly, the search was interesting and stressful but rewarding.' It's strange to think just a few months ago, I didn't know I would need a job search at all.' I am thrilled about my decision and look forward to sharing it here on my blog.' So, check back into 'Big Tiny World' on Friday at 8:28 a.m. CST' (I'm Chinese, that's an auspicious number combo)." Best bet is that Loo will land at Tribune Co.-owned WGN-Channel 9, where she'd fill the vacancy left by reporter Antwan Lewis, now at WNYW-TV in New York.
Nancy Loo
- Can there be a greater example of greed or arrogance than the lavishing of more than $72 million in bonuses on top executives of Tribune Co. -- while employees continue to suffer the consequences of bankruptcy?

Elevating Music in 2 part harmonyMay. 26, 2010
Because this week's mission (creating The Soundtrack of our Lives) is indeed all about "elevating music," we're going to tackle today's traditional post this way:
1. Take a look at the music suggestions in the comment section; if your favorite life-anthem-type song is not yet there, please add it! I'm going to wrap this mission up early so I can get the final soundtrack to you all sometime tomorrow/Thursday (as I know many of us will already be heading into the long holiday weekend by Friday). It's been really fun for me going through all these songs, I have to say.
2. I leave you with this short clip. The words elevating and uplifting certainly come to mind.

- Title: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
- IMDb: link
After two films of murder games by children building up to a rebellion stoked by class warfare the latest entry into The Hunger Games franchise offers only more build-up. Deciding to break the final book of the series into two parts, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is nearly all set-up with no payoff in sight for at least a full year until next Fall (if ever).
Set an indeterminate period of time following the events of the last film, Jennifer Lawrence returns as reluctant hero Katniss Everdeen rescued at the end of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and recruited by the survivors of District 13 (the most well-funded and fully stocked secret underground rebellion in the history of cinema) to be the face of their revolution against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the Capitol.
Mockingjay does offer something new as it delves into rebellion, propaganda, and the physical and emotional toll of Snow's policies towards those who defy him. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth, and Elizabeth Banks return as Katniss' support system and Julianne Moore steps in as the leader of the rebellion with access to enough hair products to never have a single strand out of place.

The Gambler's Talisman By P'u Sung-ling A Taoist priest, called Han, lived at the T'ien-ch'i temple, in our district city. His knowledge of the black art was very extensive, and the neighbours all regarded him as an Immortal. My late father was on intimate terms with, him, and whenever he went into the city invariably paid him a visit. One day, on such an occasion, he was proceeding thither in company with my late uncle, when suddenly they met Han on the road. Handing them the key of the door, he begged them to go on and wait awhile for him, promising to be there shortly himself. Following out these instructions, they repaired to the temple, but on unlocking the door there was Han sitting inside—a feat which he subsequently performed several times. Now a relative of mine, who was terribly given to gambling, also knew this priest, having been introduced to him by my father. And once this relative, meeting with a Buddhist priest from the T'ien-fo temple, addicted like himself to the vice of gambling, played with him until he had lost everything, even going so far as to pledge the whole of his property, which he lost in a single night. Happening to call in upon Han as he was going back, the latter noticed his exceedingly dejected appearance, and the rambling answers he gave, and asked him what was the matter. On hearing the story of his losses, Han only laughed, and said, "That's what always overtakes, the gambler, sooner or later; if, however, you will break yourself of the habit, I will get your money back for you." "Ah," cried the other, "if I can only win back my money, you may break the dice with an iron pestle when you catch me gambling again." So Han gave him a talismanic formula, written out on a piece of paper, to put in his girdle, bidding him only win back what he had lost, and not attempt to get a fraction more. He also handed him 1000 cash, on condition that this sum should be repaid from his winnings, and off went my relative delighted The Buddhist, however, turned up his nose at the smallness of his means, and said it wasn't worth his while to stake so little; but at last he was persuaded into having one throw for the whole lot. They then began, the priest leading off with a fair throw, to which his opponent replied by a better; whereupon the priest doubled his stake, and my relative won again, going on and on until the latter's good luck had brought him back all that he had previously lost. He thought, however, that he couldn't do better than just win a few more strings of cash, and accordingly went on; but gradually him luck turned, and on looking into his girdle he found that the talisman was gone. In a great fright he jumped up, and went off with his winnings to the temple, where he reckoned up that after deducting Han's loan, and adding what he had lost towards the end, he had exactly the amount originally his. With shame in his face he turned to thank Han, mentioning at the same time the loss of the talisman; at which Han only laughed, and said, "That has got back before you. I told you not to be over-greedy, and as you didn't heed me, I took the talisman away."1 1 Gambling is the great Chinese vice, far exceeding in its ill effects all that opium has ever done to demoralise the country. Public gaming-houses are strictly forbidden by law, but their existence is winked at by a too venal executive. Fantan is the favourite game. It consists in staking on the remainder of an unknown number of cash, after the heap has been divided by four, namely, whether it will be three, two, one or nothing; with other variations of a more complicated nature.

The Intercept has a report on Key retracting his vow to resign if it was shown that there was mass surveillance of New Zealanders.
I'm not sure you can just retract a political promise like that - the real issue of course is that at the time Key made that pledge the GCSB was doing mass surveillance ... and Key was the minister in charge, he was supposd to know what was going on - in short he was probably lying when he made the pledge.
Of course now he's saying that he can't talk about it because it was secret - apparently it was OK to talk about it when he was just making stuff up.

Privacy hedge
I have a 2 acre lot that is basically open on all sides and very few trees. There is a driveway that runs between me and one of the neighbors which leads to another home behind me that can be seen from my back deck. There is no privacy any where in my yard. We will be planting some trees in the back that will help "block" the neighbors but I would like to create a privacy "fence" on the one side of the house using evergreen hedges. The area where the hedges would be planted is in full sun. I am looking for something that would be around 10ft at full maturity and very dense. Any suggestions?
Years ago everyone planted leyland cypress but the cypress canker and last years drought has killed off thousands of mature cypress 'privacy hedges'. Seems like overuse of any plant type leads to increase in insect and disease problems.
You might consider using a variety of shrub and tree materials including native cedars and some deciduous types.
Just remember that whatever you plant in a densely packed row is going to need careful and frequent watering.
Please don't use Ligustrum or Privet - another commonly used plant that is an invasive pest in the southeast. Likewise for Elaeagnus.
Consider: Wax myrtle, hollies, Carolina cherry laurel, red cedar, 'Little Gem' magnolia. Most of these create shelter and food for birds which will attract them to your yard.
As dottie suggested, a mixture of plants, both evergreen and non-evergreen (deciduous) creates a more pleasing and disease resistant screen. With a two acre lot, you have room to something more natural than a formal hedgerow.
Buddleia -- grow fast, wide and are semi-evergreen until you cut them back. My 'Royal Red' bushes went from 2 feet high to 6 feet high already. Royal Red reaches 10x10. Butterflies love them.
Ornamental grasses -- add some tall grasses that are on the same schedule for cut back as the buddleia. Pink muhly, while short, looks great with Royal Red. I have a Miscanthus Cosmopolitan that reaches 8x6.
For evergreen, we love osmanthus fragrans.
If the soil is moist enough, a willow grows very fast. A corkscrew grows upright (one of my favorites). We have one that blocks the side view of our deck from the road.
There are some evergreen magnolias that grow to 30 feet... too tall for you.

5-Year-Old Linux Kernel Bug Fixed 127
from the must-have-been-union dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
To expand on this, not only do they not assign security bugs the priority they deserve, they actively hide them.
http://arstechnica.com/securit... [arstechnica.com]
FWIW, I love Linux and used Slackware for almost a decade.
Well it can't be patched before it was discovered but you seem to be implying this issue was known about 5 years ago.
How long from when it was discovered did it take to be patched?
I completely disagree. The reason I use a OS is because its features work and it doe snot crash all the time, I could not care less if it were 1% more secure.
Was it? Where? The git commit linked in the article is for 2014-05-03. Given the number of fixes and revisions this patch went through, one has to actually hunt it down in the MLs to know.
So, can you please point us to the source of your information?
You should read up some more on the clash between security professionals and the Linux maintainers.
Some bugs are more critical than others, and hiding them not to get negative attention or (rightfully) be pressured to fix them is pretty bad.
I read through the POC, it seemed safe enough to play with, so I've tried it out on a few different servers here (CentOS & Debian Stable). On the CentOS boxes it dies before it even gets started trying to overflow into a tty, and on my Debian machine it's been going for 5 minutes (using up to 90% CPU, but still leaving the machine quite usable), and still hasn't got anywhere.
This isn't quite the "instant ROOT ACCESS!" privilege escalation that scares keeps sysadmins up at night. (unless I'm missing something...)
The OP does not inaccurately malign the attitude of the kernel develops towards security bugs. Their stance is widely known.
It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C. - A.D. 65)

Even more than in other fields of public decision-making, zoning is poorly handled by the approximations of traditional economic analysis.
Why? Because preferences are determined overwhelmingly by externalities which are not are not amendable to such analysis.
Both the original article and this response present arguments that are utterly dependent on individual preferences.
For example, it may well be that "tight land-use regulation acts to generate a shadow tax on land, which pushes residents to cheaper—and less dynamic—metropolitan areas."
But who decided that that was necessarily a bad thing? Since when has "dynamism" (whatever that might mean) been the object and purpose of human existence?
One could mount a precisely contrary argument. Rather than beginning with the premise:
There is near limitless economic opportunity in New York City, which is why so many people are willing to pay so much to live there,
one might begin with the premise:
New York City is a natural monopoly extracting rents from the rest of the world, and people who would prefer to live in more pleasant surrounds are forced to move there if they are to have any chance of being a "screwer" rather than a "screwee".
Why should they not make their surrounds as bearable as they can? Why should it be such a bad thing that "cheaper—and less dynamic—metropolitan areas" be promoted to provide competition? Or at least an alternative lifestyle?
When traditional economic analysis fails, we must fall back upon preference aggregation: what do the people in aggregate want? And to answer that question, we must ask:
- how do the people select an aggregation device to aggregate their preferences? and
- what systems may we use to define "the people" whose preferences are to aggregated?
I suspect (but I might be wrong) that if those questions were answered, it would be found that the aggregate preference was for a considerable degree of zoning. (This conclusion is based on observation of outcomes in Switzerland, where people have a high level of input into government decision-making.)
- - - - -
"Mr Glaeser and Matthew Kahn have also shown that tight land-use restrictions end up pushing Americans out of the country's greenest cities, like those on the California coast, and into the dirtiest, like those in Texas."
So . . . the cities with "tight land-use restrictions" are the greenest ones (which - it may be taken from the context - are to be preferred). And this is presented as an argument to remove tight land-use restrictions?
