He is a long time advocate of and has been directly involved with socially and environmentally responsive design, affordable housing, community planning, and smart growth. He co-authored the book "Good Neighbors: Affordable Family Housing" (McGraw Hill, 1995). R.

With this achievement, CFN has become a visible force in the policy reform movement, and has an opportunity to educate an identified group of state leaders about workable approaches to land use reform measures.
