| Comment | Dear CARB,
Global warming is the key challenge of our time. Meeting this
challenge requires fundamental changes in the way we grow our
communities. In the AB 32 Scoping Plan, I would like to see CARB
increase the land use target from 5 million metric tons (MMT) of
CO2 equivalent to 11-14 MMT.
The higher target and the benefits of dense, mixed-use development
are achievable with policies California is already considering.
Setting a higher target for the land use sector will signal to the
world that new land use patterns are a high priority in the fight
against global warming.
A higher target should be coupled with a commitment to provide
financial resources, technical assistance, and other support to
help regions, local governments, and transportation agencies
achieve the target.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ron Goldman
