| Comment | Dear CARB, Global warming is a key challenge of our time. Meeting this challenge requires fundamental changes in the way our communities are allowed to grow. In the AB 32 Scoping Plan, I would like to see CARB increase the land use emission reduction target from 5 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 equivalent to 11 MMT or more. The higher target and the benefits of appropriately dense, mixed-use development are achievable with policies California is already considering. Setting a higher emission reduction 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. Thank you for consideration. Sincerely, Douglas Daetz Sunnyvale, CA 94087 |
