Theme/Description:
Why Sprawl is a Conservative Issue, presented by Michael Lewyn. Michael Lewyn, columnist, author and Associate Professor at John Marshall Law School will argue that conservatives should fight sprawl as a threat to conservative values such as limited government, freedom, lower taxes, and social stability. His talk will describe how sprawl is the direct result of big government, education policies, and housing regulations that still favor suburban construction on previously undeveloped land. He will also discuss what conservatives can do about sprawl and how smarter growth can encourage conservative solutions, increase individual choice, free market activity and economic development

"...although our efforts to increase green space and healthy food in neighborhoods will improve healthy options, improving the social inequity in our community will be necessary to improve our health."
