They claim that big box apartments near transit stations will cause people to walk and bike instead of using their cars. The "smart growth" proponents ignoring coming technology like the Volkswagen concept car that gets 126 mpg and self driving vehicles which provide "on demand" transportation that has far lower ghg per mile than an half full city bus or train. Technology usually rises up to solve our thorniest issues (except zealous, planners, politicians and housing activists). It is important to remember that there just isn't just one solution available and we should not think that a central plan for a 25 year vision will begin to anticipate all the changes in technology that will affect our lives. We are innovators.Save Marinwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955283884555550715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056503793042480899.post-14706140771709889932014-05-01T12:57:25.707-07:002014-05-01T12:57:25.707-07:00Stephen - What does this have to do with "A b...Stephen - What does this have to do with "A blog about Marinwood-Lucas Valley and the 2012 Marin Housing Element"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
