Sierra Club Promotes Growth Zones And Affordable Housing
Bill Allayaud, California State Legislative Director for the Sierra Club, discusses aggressive legislation to promote growth zones.
California Assemblyman Wiggins (D-Sonoma) recently introduced AB 1268, which would mandate cities to define urban smart growth zones and to build 20-percent of new housing units as affordable. The Planning Report presents an interview with Bill Allayaud, California State Legislative Director for the Sierra Club -- one of the bill's sponsors -- in which he discusses the mechanics of the bill and its odds for passing.
