I live in western Riverside County which has some of the worst air quality in the nation. Riverside County Supervisors just approved the Villages of Lakeview Housing project this past March. It will have more than 11,000 units with almost no permanent jobs. It is in the middle of farm land and adjacent to San Jacinto Wildlife Area which is a core reserve of the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan. The EIR for the project stated that at least 15,000 Daily Commuters will be produced by this single leapfrog project. SCAG needs to reduce VMT significantly and not just rely on increasing gas mileage of cars/light trucks to reduce GHG emissios. Counties should not be in the business creating new cities in the middle of farmland as they did in Riverside with the Villages of Lakeview. Creating infill, building adjacent to existing cities and protecting Agriculture should be a priority in your final product. |
