Satellite City Should Be Sustainable

15 August 2004 - 11:00am

Brian Schmidt criticizes San Jose's plan to build a satellite city.

"San Jose's city government wants to build a new satellite city in Coyote Valley, and do it on a rush basis...Sprawl, traffic, air pollution and lost habitat will be the result...Unplanned sprawl like this is unacceptable, and development advocates must someday face this reality, or we will all suffer the consequences."
