A Bold Regional Comprehensive Plan
A regional comprehensive plan aims to tame San Diego county's inexorable growth.
"Embracing the mantra of smart growth, the 370-page document relies on the county's 18 cities and county government to work together to stem sprawl by building higher-density housing close to transit lines and jobs while preserving open spaces and far-flung rural areas planners say are unsuitable for development....It is the fourth countywide planning initiative in as many decades that has sought to manage or tame the region's inexorable growth."
