Furthermore, though Voith and Gadgil may not have deliberately lied to the HRC and BGLSTA, it seems apparent that they made misleading remarks in their attempt to pander to both organizations.

So Cambridge (pop. 7,000) drafted Warren Hanson, a former yoga teacher turned urban planner who champions livable, affordable neighborhoods, to fight back. In St. Peter, Minn., dubious officials watched Hanson on the council-chamber floor maneuvering toy cars and Styrofoam houses on a gigantic paper plan of a neighborhood.
