Sustainable Growth too Costly says the House Environmental Matters Committee

Smart Growth, Transit Orientated Development and Sustainable Growth are buzz words that I will simply restate as looking at transportation planning and other planning as one unit or in effect let's look at transportations costs as well as housing costs and lets try and make the total as cost effective as possible.

Or Sprawl is unsustainable and we can't afford to support that model any more.

But apparently with House Bill 948 we can't afford to do any differently then what we have been doing either. Keep the status quo! :(
