Land Use Agenda
  • Utilize zoning that is oriented toward land use rather than classification
  • Eliminate subsidies that encourage sprawl
  • Utilize market-oriented user fees to equitably assign the cost of environmental impacts to those causing the greatest harm
  • Encourage farmland and open space protection through private land trusts and conservation easements
  • Encourage Congress to eliminate the estate tax
