There is nothing worse than driving out to the country and seeing 100 townhomes stuck on 2 acres when there is nothing else around them for a 1/2 mile, or a rural 5 acre estate with a brick and wrought iron fence. Every item has it's place on the transect. For the record, a T2 5-acre estate should have a wooden fence (if it has one at all).
I know what it is, I have sat through some DPZ seminars and it was the main planning principle used in the military family housing privatization projects that I worked on. It has some good elements but it is not the ultimate solution. One thing that I mainly want is no home owners association, I just want a plot of land.
