Allison read the following from the San Francisco Bay Area Land Use Planning Survey,
a copy of which is available for review in the Council office: 'Survey respondents
enjoy living in the Bay Area but are dissatisfied with the current local land use
planning framework. They view housing, traffic congestion, and toxic waste disposal
as the most significant lard use problems facing the region. They believe that
individual cities and counties acting without a regional strategy will not be able to
develop coordinated plans that address these issues. Viewed with the findings of
other recent public opinion polls, this study suggests that there is significant
political support for reforming land use planning the Bay Area. A statewide land
use ballot measure to establish a system for assuring local government compliance
with regional planning goals may be the most feasible and effective way to reform
the local planning structure. A survey of Southern California opinion leaders
Mould be useful to assess attitudes toward planning in other highly populated areas
of the state.'
