Abstract
Beginning in 1985, I published a series of articles addressing the relationship between land use and zoning issues and the changing demographics of American society. Implicit in all those pieces, and explicit in some, was the important relationship between changing gender roles and municipal land-use law. Specifically, I addressed the power of municipal zoning ordinances to spatially direct family lives, the location of support systems, and the very composition of intimate household arrangements.
