ana023: Strong Towns for Libertarians | Chuck Marohn Interview

Chuck Marohn’s “Strong Towns” philosophy has been a huge influence on our thinking. StrongTowns.org has grown from a personal blog into one of the most influential urbanist movements in America, with thousands of members and millions of readers worldwide.

Strong Towns is common sense, yet iconoclastic: Cities and towns need to manage their finances responsibly, and develop their infrastructure accordingly.

While Chuck’s prognoses may sound pessimistic, he believes that positive changes must happen at the level of the local community, rather than chasing easy money from Wall Street and Washington. This is an approach that we can get behind.

Chuck’s forthcoming book “Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity” is available for pre-order, and will be released on October 1st, 2019.
