San Mateo, CA, tries to convince residents of the benefits of transit oriented development (TOD).
"Its called transit oriented development and its big...its sweeping the nation and the Bay Area is ground zero....Its goal is to answer the need for housing by concentrating people in an area with access to multiple types of mass transit and, in doing so, reduce their number of car trips. Beneath the surface theres a push to change peoples idea of community and neighborhoods from the 1950s ideal to something more urban...The biggest battle San Mateo is facing now is trying to sell residents on the idea of TOD and its benefits. But, its really not a new idea at all."
