17 September 1999:

The Sprawlwatch website has published a list of "pro-sprawl players," which includes Demographia and The Public Purpose principal Wendell Cox.

Cox noted that he considered it to be a "badge of honor to be on such a distinguished list," though indicated that Sprawlwatch had "rather exaggerated" the facts by characterizing him and others on the list as "pro-sprawl." He indicated that a more accurate characterization would have been "pro-choice" with respect to urban development --- that people ought to be permitted to live and work where they like.
