HOUSE-REVIEWING PROCESS FOR THE CITY OF PALOS VERDES
proposed by PatternLanguage.com

The city of Palos Verdes, California, southwest of Los Angeles, has 13,000 inhabitants, the eighth highest per-capita income of any city in the US. It is in process of embarking, now, on a way of finding a communally agreed-upon method of both allowing and restricting new development in such a way that the community's values are maintained and extended.
