Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Planning/Land Use )

Reframe housing development to residents not in terms of density or environmental compliance, but in terms of the tangible benefits that matter to them (health, safety, affordability, and access) shifting the public conversation away from abstract goals like GHG reduction toward concrete outcomes that resonate with workers and families. 

Existing Examples of Progress: The Pajaro Valley TCC project community engagement process focused the conversation with the community on what people's everyday impacts were (health, safety, pedestrian infrastructure, and affordability). This framing generated participation where emissions framing had not.
