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!
