If only Randal O'Toole were actually a libertarian. He claims to dislike the government, but he pretty much loves government urban planning. Not sure why he's at Cato. (For more political diversity, I guess?)

Also he calls himself a "pragmatist", not a "true libertarian". Take that as you will.

That guy is very well known to people who frequent sites like http://marketurbanism.com/

He's very much in favor of sprawl, and anti-density, despite lots of good evidence that markets would provide plenty of density if left to themselves.

Yeah, I wish he would just stop calling his blog "the Antiplanner" if he's not going to actually, you know, oppose planning. Ah well.

It's a shame your original post was flagged and killed, because it's right on the money.
