This research briefly explores the idea of girl-on-girl violence and
argues that young women are indeed experiencing violence, but not necessarily
from each other, as much as from the effects of racism, sexism, misogyny,
homophobia, and poverty.
Schubert, Michael
Lessons from the
Field: Three Case Studies of Mixed-Income Housing Development
Michael F. Schubert and Alison Thresher
April 1996
GCP-96-4
This report presents case studies of mixed-income housing development
in three cities: Montgomery Count, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; and Boston,
Massachusetts. The studies examine local market conditions, the degree
of political support, and the financing and subsidy opportunities in
each city. The case studies seek to determine challenges and goals integral
to the provision of quality housing in urban areas.

The Proposed New Interstate 69
Highway: Is It a Cost-Effective Rural Economic
Development Took for
Southwest Indiana?
Wim Wiewel, Joseph J. Persky, and Mark Edward
Sendzik
August 1999
GCP-99-3
This study examines the cost-effectiveness of the Evansville-to-Bloomington
portion of the proposed new Interstate 69 highway in Southwest Indiana
in fulfilling its stated purpose of stimulating economic development
in four rural Indiana counties. We compare the proposed highway with
other rural economic development programs and strategies such as rural
enterprise zones, federal economic development programs, business incubators,
and local industrial development groups. In addition, we use a variety
of state cost and job creation estimates, cost calculations, and comparison
figures. Although this study does not take a position on whether the
proposed new highway should be built, we conclude that if the purpose
of the I-69 project is economic development in these rural counties,
far more cost-efficient alternatives almost certainly exist.
Solid Waste Incineration in the
Chicago Metropolitan Area:
The Battle over the Illinois Rate Law
Mark Sendzik and Wim Wiewel
July 1996
GCP-96-10
In the 1980's, the federal, state, and local governments developed a
range of policies to handle the disposal of solid waste. This paper
provides an overview for the events that led to the adoption of the
controversial 1988 Retail Rate Law, which responded to the threat of
a solid waste crisis in Chicago. Also, the paper examines the nature
of the forces promoting and opposing the Retail Rate Law as well as
two incinerator proposals.

In the past fifty years Chicago has been transformed socially, economically,
governmentally and politically. By tracing campaign contributions, aldermanic
voting, election results, and government jobs and contracts we can begin
to trace the political transformation. Yet, a full explanation requires
considering biographical facts and social forces as well. This paper
begins that exploration.
