San Diego follows Daniel Burnham's "make no small plans" directive.

Hurry up before we get a slash and burn Republican President. That what happened here at Home in Buffalo with Reagan in the 80s.
It's not that unusual for agencies of all sorts to present long-term proposals and directives. In Chicago, CTA and RTA have both presented planning proposals. How much of these plans actually come to fruition is another story.
What are these people (planners) drinking now that there is a drought? More development = more people = more water demand. Move out while you can find a buyer.
Have of Israel's drinking water is now supplied by water-desalinization plants, water from the Mediteranian made potable by new and more economical plants. I understand that Californian is looking into this technology.
What most counties in California have done is enact sales tax increases for public transit service. They range for 1/2% in many counties to 1 1/2 % in Los Angeles County. A large amount of the funding for Metro's new transit projects in Los Angeles County is locally-generated. You're going to wait a long time if you expect DC to fund your transit system so you should do it yourself!
A map would have ben so helpful.

A casualty of today's 'journalism'.
The San Diego regional planning agency 'SANDAG' administers a 1/2 cent local sales tax to be used for transit projects. The public oriented site http://www.keepsandiegomoving.com/ has project plans and maps.
From a quality of life standpoint I agree with most of these projects. Most of the freeways in San Diego county have nightmarish traffic, and locals deserve alternatives. Unfortunately, Americans have no stomach for attacking the root cause - explosive population growth (a discussion subject for another forum entirely).
