GMA Repealed – Sprawl-a-lujah
April 1, 2010
In a dramatic rebuff to smart growth and 20 years of Growth Management in Washington State, legislators and the Governor have repealed the land mark law that went into effect in 1990. Farmers wanting to sell their land for profit even under this straining economy celebrated by rolling out large tract developments featuring 3 car garages on every cul-de-sac, with no sidewalks nor bikelanes. The promise of cheap housing has attracted people away from transit oriented developments to rural suburbs. Can a Roger Rabbit style train track removal be far behind?

Fantastic Roger Rabbit reference. I think that one just got added to my Netflix queue!
