We Need Productive Growth.

The biggest problem America faces is not a lack of growth. What we lack is productive growth, growth that actually builds our wealth over time. Productive growth makes a place better with age.

The following video explains what productive growth looks like and how we can achieve it. It's part of a series called the Curbside Chat. If you've been a member of Strong Towns for a while, you're probably familiar with it. If not, it's time to acquaint yourself.
