Conspicuously absent from this comprehensive going-forward plan is any mention of backtracking on the nearly universally-accepted U.N. goals for "sustainable development," a major feature of which is "density, density, density." Land use policies in nearly every county in the country now incorporate plans to deter future construction of single-family housing and "sprawl" and to move people into densely-populated urban zones featuring "stack and pack" housing and multi-use buildings (i.e., retail downstairs and apartments above). The CoVid-19 situation should serve as a major wake-up call for city and county planners who have bought into these goals, hook, line and sinker.

I agree those goals should be rethought but I think that can wait a bit longer.
The plan is for the near future, not the next 20 years.
