On the first day of the Towards Carfree Cities Conference in Portland, I was immediately impressed by a presentation on high-density co-housing projects that are the collaboration of Orange Splot LLC (a cohousing developer) and Communitecture, an architecture firm using innovative green building techniques and superb design to create beautiful and inviting high-density living arrangements in Portland neighborhoods.
Humboldt County Planning Commission and Staff:
We are a coalition of environmental groups who would like to see parking policies in Humboldt County reconsidered. We hope a final Circulation Element, Community Design element, and other General Plan elements will address our concerns regarding parking policy in Humboldt County.
The people of Arcata remember back 10 years ago to 2006 when gas
steadily climbed past $3 per gallon and wonder how they ended up
saddled with this mess. Few people drive anymore, and yet so much of
our land that we need for housing ourselves and growing food is taken
up by pavement.
