The American Dream Coalition held the "Preserving the American Dream Conference" May 16-18 at the Omni Houston Hotel. HRG President Kendall Miller and City Councilman Peter Brown participated in a forum where each presented different views on Houston’s land use policies and methods for growth.
HRG President Kendall Miller made it clear that Houston is not making the same mistakes that come with zoning. Government planning does not bring the prescriptive solutions that a free-market does. Houston is the global model for community development projects that “smart growth” does not make possible. People from cities all over the world were in attendance and their comparative thought is that Kendall Miller, HRG, and Houston have “got it right!”
