Abstract:
"The city hasn't adopted a comprehensive plan--a document that determines who can build what, where, and who can afford to live there--since 1975. City planners have worked on a draft for three years. Recently, they presented it to the City Council, and all hell broke loose. Can the council get it together? What would it mean if they can't?"
