Dear Members of CARB,

Please strengthen your commitment to land use reform in the AB 32
Scoping Plan. Many policy makers agree that you can double or
triple your commitment of greenhouse  gas reduction from land use,
from the current 5 million metric tons to up to 14. 

Land use has a tremendous impact on the generation -- or lack
thereof -- of greenhouse gases. Communities need the push to
require more dense, walkable/bikeable, transit-oriented
development, which can greatly reduce the production of greenhouse
gases.

In my community development decisions are basically made by
developers: whatever they propose is what the city council and
supervisors end up accepting. We need strong incentives and rules
directing development and redevelopment to give municipalities the
direction and backing they need to create communities that help us
reduce greenhouse gases instead of increasing them.

Please take strong action now to reform land use in order to
reduce greenhouse gases.

Sincerely, 

Lisa Kayser-Grant
