Comment
This plan does not do enough to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled
(VMT). In order to enable reduced driving, the Climate Change plan
must require city and county governments to promote smart growth
and more affordable housing.  Dispersed land use patterns are
costing Californians dearly, not only in gasoline but in our
quality of life. Compact development with a mix of housing choices
near jobs will enable Californians to drive less, spend less,
breathe cleaner air, and spend more time with our families and
contributing to our communities. 

This plan bows too much to entrenched interests in city and county
government who oppose compact development and affordable housing.
It must be revised so that communities provide more choices
allowing people to live closer to jobs and other amenities.
