Abstract
Although Scott A. Bollens argues that an emerging portfolio of policies is addressing regional equity through the back door, state and federal policies and guidance are in fact often a venue for thwarting, not supporting, equity‐related goals. Three examples where regional equity gains have have been inhibited by state or federal involvement center on Mount Laurel housing in New Jersey, the Jobs Access title of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA‐21), and the administrative geography of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). Perhaps we do not see more regional cooperation because the potential gains are small compared with the gains made by those who benefit from a fragmented status quo.
