Senator Joseph Dunn, who heads the State of California Senate Housing Committee, recently asked city managers across California for legislative suggestions to curb the statewide housing crisis. Azusa City Manager Rick Cole -- a leading Smart Growth advocate among city managers -- responded with a call for a long-overdue reform of local government finance that removes the disincentives to building housing in California's older communities. The Planning Report presents Rick Cole's impassioned plea to end the bickering and direct sales tax dollars where they will have the most positive effect.
