Study Urges County To Fight Sprawl
A study by the Greenbelt Alliance urges Contra Costa County, CA, to fight sprawl.
"Contra Costa County has ample real estate to fight sprawl, say authors of a report from a Bay Area land-use and environmental group.The Greenbelt Alliance study, ''Contra Costa County: Smart Growth or Sprawl?,'' concludes that the county can stop building conventional subdivisions such as those under construction in Dougherty Valley and Antioch and still meet its housing demand, said Evelyn Stivers, the alliance's East Bay spokeswoman."
