Over the last several years, a Florida interest group has advocated for a state constitution amendment—Hometown Democracy—that would remove land use policy decision-making power from elected officials and place it in the hands of the voting public. Can voters make better decisions than their elected representatives, and, specifically, is land use policymaking an area of governance that would be appropriate for the voters to reclaim from the local governments? I suggest that the Hometown Democracy proposal is an inappropriate solution to an overstated problem.
