Yeah - I own a consulting company helping suppliers navigate the procurement process of state, local and federal procurement. None of these numbers check out and since it's municipal data it's all subject to a FOIA request.

This is my first article i've read by this company and it didn't really seem to have a conclusion besides spreading obviously false data.

Chuck Marohn is a well-respected planner with decades of municipal experience. He’s written books on this topic. You can watch him give his usual anti-suburb talk on YouTube. He’s especially good at reaching tough, conservative audiences, I think.

In his broader body of work he does a good job of talking actual numbers and why they’re a lot higher than you’d think.

The only Strongtowns article I've read that was about an area I know personally was factually and historically inaccurate.

Can you provide the actual numbers for comparison
