FIGHTING OVERDEVELOPMENT, PROMOTING SMART GROWTH

For too long, our neighborhoods have suffered from uncontrolled growth that happens with little or no community input. We need to fix the broken urban planning process and insist on genuine smart growth that complements our neighborhoods.

Specifically, we need to

Promote smart growth policies that encourage mixed use, providing local jobs, affordable housing and accessible transportation for workers
Insist that any new development must go hand-in-hand with infrastructure improvements. Our infrastructure must be able to handle any new developments
Insist development fees to improve traffic and the environment be spent expeditiously and in the impacted neighborhoods.
End the “insider culture” in the planning process that allows consultants, lawyers and planning “specialists” to manipulate the process and win variances and zone changes.
