Smart growth is a compendium of strategies that is pro-growth while maintaining a bit of open space.
It recommends increased public transit, green zones around cities and infill of the urban underused space. People are urged to embrace highly increased housing densities. It is championed by groups as apparently diverse as the Sierra Club and the National Association of Home Builders. Further growth is a catastrophe. The Golden State has rapidly lost its qualities of unique natural beauty due to irresponsible immigration-driven population growth.
