    as advertised
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2019*

good for boning up on St. Augustine.  The city itself is super crowded with tourists, as a tourist I resented that.

    Thought-provoking analysis of cities' limits
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2010*

A terrific thought-provoking work. I am not sure that its key points are valid, but the work gets one to thinking about the limits of cities' power. The central point is pretty simple. Taxpayers will do a cost-benefit analysis of how their tax dollars are being used. If they see benefits to themselves of how their tax dollars are employed, they will stay. If they do not approve, they will vote with their feet and leave, thus reducing the community's tax base. The effect on local communities? They'll want to keep their tax base as happy as they can.One implication? No redistributive policy, where the taxes of those who make up the major part of the tax base are used to assist those who have few resources. On the other hand, the tax base would be quite pleased to see their taxes used for purposes that they believe would benefit them.In the end, cities' power is "limited" by the desire to please the tax base. Actual data for this thesis are somewhat mixed. Again, though, a very thought-provoking work. . . .

    A must-read for the aspiring political scientist
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2008*

This is an important book for people interested in urban studies to read.  It has made some people angry (see Imbroscio, 2003 for more details), but it deserves to be read to get a grounding in Urban Political theory.  It discusses why local politics are different.  It explains the types of policies cities create (developmental, allocation, and redistributive).  It discusses why cities do not generally get into the welfare policy business.Some believe that Peterson's "Unitary" interest of cities is incorrect in that politics do matter and that cities do not just have one interest of developmental politics.  Nevertheless, Peterson's theory is tight, well-reasoned and more correct than it is incorrect.
