Description
I might as well come clean now. I know Jerry Frug quite well; he's a friend, we've worked on a casebook together, and had numerous conversations about law, urbanism, and public policy. I wrote a blurb for City Making in which I gave it the extremely high praise it deserves. It's a great book, one of a very few that attacks the issue of local politics and the social economy of the metropolis with intelligence, passion, and vision. I could proceed to write a review that recounts all of the reasons Frug is right about the many things I think he's right about. But Frug's arguments in favor of his positions are better than mine would be. And nothing but praise would make for a boring review. Instead, and at the risk of picking nits, I'll suggest that Frug pulls some punches that need to be thrown in the fight for what I consider to be our shared goal: the reform of local government law guided by a combination of politically progressive commitments and institutional pragmatism.
