LandWatch will work for sound land use policies that:

  • Provide affordable housing for local working families, located within mixed-income neighborhoods.
  • Create urban growth boundaries to stop costly and destructive urban sprawl.
  • Establish strong, long-term protection for commercially productive farmlands.
  • Require that adequate public facilities and services, including police, fire, schools, parks, transportation facilities, and reliable water supplies, be in place prior to, or concurrently with, new development.
  • Improve the regulatory process by making it more effective, efficient, and accountable.
