[quote=Anonymous]GGWash is a blog that advocates for a broad smart growth agenda, including denser transit oriented market rate house, committed affordable housing, public transit, and bike/pedestrian issues.  It sometimes dives into other issues  but IMO with less depth of expertise.  It is a very good central place for discussions on this from a pro-smart growth POV, and has considerably influenced discussions around the region (though they tend to cover DC somewhat more intensely than the suburbs, and seldom cover the outer suburbs).

Their funding for a while was largely from a foundation. They get support from ordinary people (they do a fund drive)  I suppose they get some money from those developers interested in urbanist projects, but I think there are a lot of assumptions about their funding that may not be true.

Some of the commenters over the years have been people very opposed to one or another part of the "GGWash agenda"  They are very tolerant of those opposing voices. [/quote]
