- catalog abstract ""Hot Towns is about the current, vast national relocation of one million Americans a year, who take with them assets greater than the entire real estate value of New York City. Successful, accomplished, and well-financed people of all ages are moving to communities they view as choice - places distinguished by fine climate, physical beauty, abundant natural recreation resources, and minimal social problems and low crime."--Jacket. "These American boom towns, Peter Wolf writes, have grown in jobs and population at two to three times the national average. But warning signs of deterioration are already evident: overbuilding, failing natural resources, rising taxes, and traffic congestion are all taking a toll on these communities."--Jacket. "Wolf demonstrates how it is possible - even during a town's rapid expansion - to enhance the quality of residents' lives, to incorporate aesthetics and design into town evolution, to protect what is precious in nature, and to preserve the best that has already been built."--Jacket.".
