Or rather, what can cities expect from President Obama?

A day after the election, Planetizen has a look.  Their conclusion:

In the end, as Planetizen blogger and land use law professor Michael Lewyn reminds us, the hands-on work of urban planning, zoning and development are firmly in the hands of local government and therefore won't be directly impacted by a new president. But if the evidence is to be believed, an Obama presidency will be much more hands-on in making decisions about urban policy, particularly when it comes to significant investments in infrastructure for energy and transportation.

Sorry to be repeating themes lately, but the election has obviously been dominating popular discourse of late, and this is the obvious way to tie it in here.  Plus, speaking for myself -- on top of last night's big event, this has been an especially hectic couple of weeks schoolwise, so I really haven't had a chance to branch out much.  But expect things here to get mixed up again soon.
