Another feature attributed to sprawl is the separation of different kinds of land uses from each other (Vermont Forum on Sprawl 1999) and the income segregation of suburban residential developments, due primarily to minimum lot sizes indifferent zoning categories (Burchell et al. 1998;
Cervero 1991; Downs 1999; GAO 1999; Orfield 1997; Sierra Club The complaint is that sprawl either causes or is caused by
patterns of exclusive land use, including separation of homes,
workplaces, and conveniences, as well as income segregation among residential communities. As the mixture of
uses in a community declines, travel time and distance for those who live or work there increase. If exclusivity of use in small areas is typical of an entire UA, one
would expect an increase in696G. Galster, R. Hanson, M. Ratcliffe, H. Wolman, S. Coleman, and J. Freihage
