Density should follow transportation corridors. Dense developments near transportation hubs should have reduced parking. Transportation planning and residential planning should go hand in hand, and since there is little chance of new lanes in our already-at-capacity freeways, new developments need to be dense enough to support neighborhood-serving businesses. Greenbelt Alliance strongly supports urban infill projects, and upzoning where it makes the most sense.

it’s like we’re back to the 1960s again where ‘the illuminati’ controled our society and criminalized a bunch of people they purposefully radicalized…so who’s fault is that, US government?…

when you follow the constitution and peacefully protest, this is the most insidious thing to the government; as the more civilized society becomes, the more it ties their hands and the more the will of the people has its’ way…
