Interesting to read what you’ve said so far. Looking forward to reading the rest. One of my bones of contention, which I briefly touched upon in my blog, is how pricing of just belonging to planning groups seems exclusionary. For instance, it’s $185 to join the Congress for New Urbanism; that’s my utilities bills. It’s $375 to join Urban Land Institute; that’s my car payment (and yes, I live where public transit is not readily accessible … I’m 1 mile from the nearest intersection). You can’t expect much of the citizenry to join when they have to pay so much these days just to put food on the table. How about different (cheaper) levels of membership? Maybe a basic price to give us access to magazine, other publications and online data, without having to be involved in all the organizational politics of who runs the show, etc.
