Washington’s Growth Management Act
Friday, November 30th, 2007Washington State enacted a Growth Management Act in early to mid 90’s in order to confine Growth in the state to urban areas and within cities limits. The theroy is to control sprawl and create density therefore having people live near their jobs and have less traffic. The outcome has caused confusion and anger with citizens because most people don’t understand the act. What a lot of Goverment officials hear is people don’t like sprawl and they don’t like density; so where does the balance lie without compromising our enviorment and natural resources?
