Dear CARB,  
 
Global warming is a key challenge of our time. Meeting this
challenge requires fundamental changes in the way we grow our
communities. In the AB 32 Scoping Plan, we would like to see CARB
increase the land use target from 5 million metric tons (MMT) of
CO2 equivalent to 11-14 MMT.


The higher target and the benefits of dense, mixed-use development
are achievable with policies California is already considering. We
need to change our land use to meet the realities of the 21st
century. 
Setting a higher 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. 

Thanks for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely,

Paul Griffiths
