An interesting article to read on the inaccuracy of the idea that “free market” = Sprawl. Using the oft cited example of Houston, TX to disprove.  Might be a bit of a lengthy read for most folks, but basically Houston does have a good deal of zoning regulations that impacted heavily the creation of sprawl unlike many assertions by free market libertarian sprawl loving writers. The two most critical zoning regulations it has are: large minimum lot sizes of 5000 sq ft for many unattached residential, as well as high parking space per car requirements far above most cities. (Portland actually negotiates to LIMIT parking in buildings near mass transit) via Marginal Revolution.

I’ve documented my attempt at creating a rough font from my handwriting in a previous post. But now a new online service fontcapture makes it incredibly easy for those non technical folk. I havn’t tried it because I already have a font of my handwriting but it looks quite cool. All you need is a printer/scanner.
