The National Journal described The Public Purpose as follows:
Wendell Cox battles smart growth advocates on his Web Site, the Public Purpose. He challenges transit proponents with statistics and analysis, such as a
table contending that most proposed transit systems are more expensive to build and operate than the cost of leasing a car for every potential passenger
in perpetuity. Cox's ally Ronald Utt offers further transportation thoughts at heritage.org/research/smartgrowth
Note: Much of the demographic data and land use/smart growth material is now maintained on the related
Demographia
website.
