In Left Coast City, Richard Edward DeLeon describes the inability of the coalition members in San Francisco’s progressive regime to achieve internal coherence or reach mutually acceptable accommodations in the face of societal change and economic restructuring that led to its collapse. 10. In Chapter 14 of Politics of Urban Development (272–74), Stone developed a typology of regimes based on the requirement that they must be able to mobilize resources commensurate with their main policy agendas. He identified four major types: caretaker coalitions that are devoted to provision of services and seek to preserve the status quo; corporate regimes that act to promote the development interests of downtown businesses; progressive coalitions that seek to control growth and its adverse externalities; and lower class coalitions that seek expansion of opportunities and protection of neighborhoods.

They bring 389 390 Notes to Chapter 2 [liberty] . . . within the people’s reach, they teach them how to use and enjoy it” p.63. In Representative Government (p. 468), John Stuart Mill similarly argued that such institutions are essential to the “public education of citizens.” 18. Elkin, City and Regime, p. 11. 19.
