Tim Kaine's Urbanist Bona Fides
The former governor and mayor has a decent record of fighting sprawl.
Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia will be scrutinized for all sorts of things in the coming days, for his positions on gun control, abortion, and global trade. The chattering class will also consider how he fits into the political calculus of this raucous campaign season, such as his appeal to blue-collar voters in a purplish swing state.
But Hillary Clinton’s choice of running mate is notable for something that many may not be aware of: he’s an urbanist.
