Curtailing Suburban Sprawl in California\n\n\nTed Droettboom, Joint Policy Director, Association of Bay Area Governments\n\nLaura Hall, Principal, Hall Alminana, Inc.\n\nPaul Campos, Vice President and General Counsel, Northern California Home Builders Association\n\n\nAs California\u2019s population has grown, so too has the state\u2019s thirst for expansion and elbow-room. As a result, Californians are spending more time in their cars than ever before. Longer commutes equate to higher greenhouse gas emissions, with roughly 40 percent of the state\u2019s current overall emissions resulting from the transportation sector. Panelists will discuss recent state legislation that was passed to curtail suburban sprawl, as well as the impact legislation will have on individual citizens and the state.\n\n\nThis program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on July 7, 2009\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
