Urban Development Areas Optional: SB274

Virginia Senate Bill #274, which makes the designation of a community as an "urban development area" optional rather than mandatory, has passed both houses in the Virginia General Assembly and is now law:

This could have gone further; I'd like to have seen the legislature reject the whole concept of an "urban development area," as something planned and forced rather than allowed to develop naturally. Even so, Tea Partiers are delighted.
