"Smart Growth America" has just released the results of it's national opinion survey titled "Building for the 21st Century: America's Support for Sustainable Communities"
This poll showed some startling results if you only listen to Mainstream Media and the Government line. The biggest surprise is that the general public wants the government, regardless of political affiliation, to stop spending money the country doesn't have, become more energy independent, and support the growth of communities.
In the Overview of this report it is also noted that:
"A recent poll by Smart Growth America has found that in the midst of a struggling
U.S. economy, support for smart growth strategies remains high among Americans
on both sides of the aisle.
The poll focused specifically on support for sustainable communities: urban,
suburban or rural communities that have more housing and transportation choices,
are closer to jobs, shops or schools, are more energy independent and help protect
clean air and water. Making communities more sustainable means generating more
jobs, lowering housing and transportation costs and using limited public funds more
wisely."
