The post on top-down urban planning brought a fair amount of response, and led me to seek out some decent blogs devoted to the subject. Here's the haul, and, as always, read at your own risk:
NY Sun's Culture of Congestion: A New York-based blog that is devoted primarily to NYC issues
Peter Gordon's Blog (from his USC website): A blog exploring the intersection of economic thinking and urban planning/real estate development and related big-think themes. Mr. Gordon seems to bring a free-market economist's sensibility to the subject.
City Comforts: Another NYC-based Seattle-based blog, mostly but not always about urban planning and urban living. Covers topics both big and small.
Demographia: takes a free-market, basically libertarian approach to urban living. Sort of the anti-urban planning blog.
Denver Infill: the best blog covering Denver development issues. The author likes planning and big-ticket public projects way too much for my taste, but he certainly covers the waterfront. Or he would, if we had a waterfront.
Comments
If the project is 4 or more stories, Denver Infill and many of it's commenters will gush over it.

I think that City Comforts is actually based in Seattle.
REPLY: You just write the thing. How would you know? Corrected, and thank you.
