      abstract = {Changes in the rural economy are challenging small-town  identity. Local communities are encouraging economic  development and population growth while struggling to  maintain "rural character." These efforts frequently foster  policies -such as the banning of mobile homes, zoning  requirements for large lots, enforcement of building codes,  and barriers to the provision of multifamily rental  housing-that result in higher consumer housing costs. Such  policies reduce housing options for community newcomers and  those with lower incomes, often with the unintended  consequence of restricting economic development. This  article examines ways in which economic restructuring has  affected local housing conditions and policies in one  Minnesota community.},
