For this post, I'm blogging about a blog I read about a law that was passed in California called SB 375. It was made into law this September and it should make quite a difference in the way neighborhoods in California are designed. "Senate Bill 375 will use carrots (permit expediting, special funding) and sticks (withholding federal transit funding) to make sure local government and developers build closer to existing or planned transit and take into account how much people will have to drive as a result of proposed projects." The blog goes on to talk about AB 32 which was passed in 2006 and aimed to lower emissions 70% from 1990 levels by 2050. The bill should help contribute to making California into a less sprawlly and more ecologically friendly place to live.
