I know that my city, Ventura, California with a population around 170,000 has done some innovative planning in the past. The result has been a commitment to development by infilling empty spaces within the city with higher density mixed use properties.
On the other hand there remain some big problems, particularly with public transit, that seem to be largely unaddressed.
I was surprised to find that there is a
Ventura County Sustainability Compact, a voluntary agreement between the cities that make up Ventura County, to negotiate a more sustainable future.
Time is short, so I posted a like to the Compact on Facebook and asked my Friends what they thought. No one has chimed in yet but it's still early...I'll post more here if a real discussion emerges.
