When SB 375 is fully implemented you will not be allowed to build housing, office building or commercial project unless government transportation can be used to get folks from home or to work.
Imagine the cost of this element of the "de-development" of California.
After a generation, California cities will look like New York or Chicago. Want that?
"The new regulations stem from a 2008 bill, SB 375, authored by Senate Leader Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and signed into law by Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The rules address one of the largest and most rapidly growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions the vehicle miles an average California family travels. Poor land use and transportation decisions have left an increasing number of Californians stuck with long car commutes to meet basic needs, according to the Planning and Conservation League.
This connection between long-term regional planning and air pollution makes the regulations of crucial interest to cities and counties and to developers, commuters, environmentalists, business owners and just about everybody else.
The emphasis is on long-term: The locals, the regulators, environmentalists, the business community all agree it wont happen overnight.
This is a marathon, not a sprint. Its not going to be easy. There have to be incentives, resources, said Riverside Mayor Ronald Loveridge."
Arnolds' legacy will be the economic, cultural and community de-development of California. We are in trouble and this ego driven amateur has laid the ground work for the total destruction of the Golden State.
