Subject | AB 32 Scoping plan to reduce GHG emissions in CA |
Comment | California should develop enforceable urban growth boundaries so that the continuous creep of sprawl development is stopped. No build zones should be developed in disaster prone hazard areas such as teep slopes, alluvial fans, wildfire prone regions, flood zones and seismic faults. No new residential development over 10 homes should be permitted that does not provide an equivalent number of long term jobs for the local community. Bedroom communities need to be transformed with corner grocery markets and cafes so that people don't have to drive a 2000 lb vehicle for a litre of juice. Agricultural land should be preserved for both its carbon sequestration abilities as well as its ability to provide localfood sources. Refocus efforts on sustainable regional economies producing high quality durable goods instead of cheap, pollution laden, disposable imports flooding our markets. Promote mixed use transit oriented development which connects to local recreational open spaces should be incentivised. Create schools that are within walking and cycling distance of the students they serve. Davis has eliminated their school bus system because it is not necessary! Everyone walks and bikes to school just like we used to. Fund every Safe Routes to School funding request that comes in and get rid of 30% of morning congestion caused by parents driving their kids to school! |
