This Contra Costa Times editorial encourages Contra Costasupervisors to take land-use decisions a step beyond simply tighteningthe urban limit line and prohibiting development outside of it. Planningfor growth needs a more efficient use of developed land, incorporatingregional transit lines and promoting economic development where homesare already built, the editorial states. City and county leaders mustlook at new ways to grow, the Times asserts, and decisions must be madebased on the welfare and growth of the region.
