An introduction: Commentary in The Hartford Courant: With a Little Help from "1000 Friends"

The 1000 Friends movement originated in Oregon in 1975. At the time Oregon was faced with population growth that was threatening its open space. . . . Today 1000 Friends and similar organizations exist in states throughout the country, and now Connecticut [has one, too]. The time is right. Here in the Nutmeg State, two major land-use studies have recently been published. One study was based on economic development and transportation. The other analyzed the abandonment of our cities and the rapid growth of the outer suburbs and rural areas.
