California has a state wide mandate to reduce commuter miles driven. This isn’t actually an improvement though, because they are not expanding transit, or trying to reduce the total ecological impact of commuting, or even the impact of each commute mile. Instead, it is used by NIMBY’s as an excuse to sabotage the road system, which increases congestion and decreases fuel economy. I’ve heard this “development” model is being exported to places like Austin.
