The Great Debate "Plan Bay Area... is it good for the region? Is it good for Marin?"

Plan Bay Area stands to make significant changes

to housing and transit across the Bay Area, encouraging cities and

counties to plan high-density housing around transit - sometimes

referred to as "smart growth".


Panelists supporting Plan Bay Area are:
Steve Kinsey, MTC commissioner and Marin
County Supervisor
Mark Luce, Napa County Supervisor and President
of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).
Both hold leadership
positions in the two agencies that developed Plan Bay Area.

 



Opposing Plan Bay Area are two of the strongest opponents

to the transit-oriented development and smart-growth approaches proposed

in Plan Bay Area:
Randal O'Toole of the Cato institute, author of
"Gridlock"
Thomas Rubin, an Oakland-based transportation consultant

and former Chief Financial Officer of Southern California Rapid Transit

District (1989-1994).

 



Panelists will speak to the issue of the evening and

respond to audience questions.
