Come Together Pros and Cons Pros Cons • Lower costs to cities/counties and taxpayers • Reduced housing choices in rural areas • Farmland preserved • Restricting growth to certain areas leads to higher housing prices • Compact growth costs less for public agencies, allowing cities to use financial resources to support walk/bike/bus infrastructure • Shorter commutes What Would It Take? None of these scenarios will simply happen. Each will take a commitment to change. For “Come Together” these changes could include: • Focusing growth in already developed areas to make the best use of existing infrastructure • Increasing local funding for bus/bike/walk infrastructure • Ensuring that new development doesn’t strain existing infrastructure or financial resources Rate your support for specific strategies on the “Implementation” screen.
