Boulder did that a long time ago. They didn't want the suburbs enroaching upon their isolated fair city. The last decade of explosive growth in Colorado seems to have justified their decision.

Boulder is full of hippies and socialists. Did the landowners sell their development rights willingly, or was their land turned into "protected open space" againt their will? I've been there a few times, and never really got a good answer to that.
