Dear CARB,  
 
Global warming is the 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.
    * 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,

Leo Groner
