821. Impact Taxes: The Opportunity in North Carolina
- Title Tesim:
- Impact Taxes: The Opportunity in North Carolina
- Creator:
- Stroud, Nancy E.
- Date of publication:
- 1978
- Abstract Tesim:
- Municipalities need better ways to allocate the costs of new growth to the appropriate people. New residential construction frequently places a great demand on existing municipal services and facilities, burdening city finances when inflation and increased expectations about the quality of services have already stressed municipal resources. Capital expenses such as roads, water and sewer lines, and new buildings particularly drain existing revenue sources. So do increased expenditures for police and fire protection, recreation, schools, and library service. Cities have traditionally dealt with such demand by raising property taxes, increasing their bond indebtedness, or instituting benefits charges such as special assessments and subdivision exactions. But increased property taxes are increasingly unpopular and in some ways unfair. To the extent that increased local costs are generated by new residents, older residents are penalized when property tax revenue is used to finance new services. Bond debts paid from general tax revenue cast a similar burden on old residents; they pay the taxes but have no need for the services occasioned by new growth. Benefits charges are attractive because they shift the burden of costs to the users and beneficiaries of the facilities and services. However, traditional benefits charges may be limited by state law to specified purposes and thus are not a totally satisfactory fiscal solution.

822. Speaking Truth to Power? It Takes a Coalition
- Title Tesim:
- Speaking Truth to Power? It Takes a Coalition
- Creator:
- Clavel, Pierre
- Date of publication:
- 2013
- Abstract Tesim:
- City planners, architects and their supporters often think of “speaking truth to power.” Typical examples are public works projects or real estate developments that look good on paper, but pose long run and less visible costs to a neighborhood or the city as a whole. Many note that speaking up in cases like this can be difficult, since their most important clients tend to have a lot of power, and can be selective in what “truth” they are able to hear. This is a dilemma that has dogged planners for a century. The usual response has been to suggest courage and persistence, with guidance offered through case histories of remarkable instances where truth-telling actually had an impact. However, there are relatively few such cases. In contrast, scholars have noted that the dominant “power” in cities in the past several decades is the “growth coalition,” consisting of real estate developers, architects, engineers, planners, newspapers and building trades firms and unions that gain from the construction and other accompaniments of “growth.” “Justice” is low on the list of priorities for these projects, or among the outcomes. Overall, the growth coalition is really, really powerful. In the face of this combination of forces, the idea that individuals can make a difference by “speaking truth to power” is just optimistic. Briefly, my premise is that the only way to compete with the growth coalition is to create a different coalition, and to find grounds for support in fundamental forces within the economy. I illustrate this with a story of both (a) an organizer, who found a way to make a difference; and (b) the forces around her, that created a semblance of a coalition, so that her efforts paid off, at least for a few years.

823. Measuring Public Values in Environmental Assessment
- Title Tesim:
- Measuring Public Values in Environmental Assessment
- Creator:
- Clary, Bruce B.
- Date of publication:
- 1978
- Abstract Tesim:
- In this paper, the question of using public perceptions in environmental assessment is approached from two perspectives. First, matrix analysis, an approach to the determination of environmental values, is described and other approaches which utilize citizen input are briefly analyzed. In the second part, research findings from a study conducted on a public development project are discussed. The research design was based on a matrix and community responses were employed to measure the value of the environment to local residents.

824. The Taxicab: Neglected Form of Public Transportation
- Title Tesim:
- The Taxicab: Neglected Form of Public Transportation
- Creator:
- Fravel, Fred, Bach, Robert, and Dilorio, Frank
- Date of publication:
- 1976
- Abstract Tesim:
- Until recently, the taxicab has been largely ignored by transportation planners as an important mode of urban public transportation. A comparison of the taxi industry with the other modes of urban public transport shows that in 1970 taxicabs produced more revenue than bus and rail operations together, carried more passengers than the rapid rail and over half as many as buses. Taxicabs traveled more than twice as many vehicle miles as buses and rapid rail combined, and did this all without benefit of public subsidy. In many small and medium-sized cities the taxicab is the only form of public transportation. In North Carolina, all of the forty-two cities with populations greater than 10,000 have taxicab service, while only thirteen of these cities have bus service. There are at least three important reasons why transportation planners and city officials should be interested in taxis. First, the demand-responsive, flexible nature of taxi service makes it an ideal means of providing mobility for those who cannot or do not drive or who lack the use of an automobile. Second, the taxi provides low-cost service that makes it an attractive alternative to deficit-plagued bus systems. Third, as of October, 1975, taxis are eligible for federal subsidies through the 1974 National Mass Transportation Assistance Act, under the same conditions as privately-owned transit operations.

825. Freight Transportation: Preserving the Rail Service Option
- Title Tesim:
- Freight Transportation: Preserving the Rail Service Option
- Creator:
- Davis, Pamela R.
- Date of publication:
- 1991
- Abstract Tesim:
- In 1990, approximately 101 million tons of freight were hauled by railroads in North Carolina. Because rail service is required by many of the state's basic industries, there is a need to support an adequate and efficient railroad system. Although railroads are crucial to the transportation requirements of many of North Carolina's industries, the state's rail system miles have been shrinking at an alarming rate. Many factors have contributed to the poor financial health of the railroad industry. These factors include poor labor productivity due to inefficient work rules, loss of revenue base to trucking competitors, poor investment decisions, government subsidies of competing modes and government regulation.

827. Local Economic Development Planning in an Era of Capital Mobility
- Title Tesim:
- Local Economic Development Planning in an Era of Capital Mobility
- Creator:
- Bergman, Edward M.
- Date of publication:
- 1981
- Abstract Tesim:
- Capital mobility is the technical term used by policy analysts to describe the movement of industry from one place to another, often between declining and growing local economies. This subject has recently become a topic of considerable research and policy interest at two levels. First, researchers have been concerned with a tendency of corporate forces and national policies to foster a polarization of local economic conditions: disinvestment and plant shutdowns in declining areas simultaneous with reinvestment and plant relocation in growing areas. Second, the accelerated pace of disinvestment-reinvestment since the mid-seventies has begun to be identified as a serious problem for both declining and growing areas.

828. Federal Consistency and Dispute Resolution
- Title Tesim:
- Federal Consistency and Dispute Resolution
- Creator:
- Imperial, Mark T. and Cogan, Jessica
- Date of publication:
- 1994
- Abstract Tesim:
- The 1970s marked a new era of environmental protection efforts in the United States. One major piece of legislation passed by Congress was the 1972 Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), which established a program to provide for the wise use and protection of the nation's coastal resources. Issues such as the loss of coastal and marine resources and wildlife, decreased public space, multiple use conflicts, and shoreline erosion have been a focus of this legislation. This article discusses the authority granted to state coastal zone management (CZM) programs pursuant to Section 307 of the CZMA. In particular, it focuses on the use of the federal consistency process as a tool for resolving intergovernmental disputes. In order to illustrate some of the issues surrounding the use of the federal consistency process, this article examines the legal questions surrounding a recent dispute which resulted in an appeal to the United States Secretary of Commerce by the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO). The Secretary's decision in this matter has important implications for a state CZM program's role in the federal consistency process.
