Dear Members of the Air Resources Board,

It is imperative that the land use target in the AB 32 Scoping
Plan for greenhouse gas reduction be raised from 5 million metric
tons of CO2 equivalent (MMT) to 11-14 MMT. The benefits of dense,
mixed-used development are not only substantial,but achievable with
policies that are already under consideration.  A low target will
send the wrong signal, namely that business-as-usual development
should continue, that land use reform is not a high priority, and
that continued urban sprawl is an acceptable form of urbanization. 
It is not!  We need a higher target, a commitment to provide
financial resources, technical assistance, and other needed support
to help regions, local governments and transportation agencies
achieve the target.
Global warming is no joke!  It is real, threatening to the
well-being of all life on the planet, and the time for REAL action
is now!   Thanks you for consideration of these comments.  Please
vote for the future of life in our state and on earth.
