"The Draft Compact, as it is commonly called, deals with perennial Bay Area issues like transportation, housing, education, preserving and restoring the environment, using available resources, improving neighborhoods, involving residents and making government responsible." Two projects, "Smart Growth Strategy/Bay Area Alliance Livability Footprint" and the "Community Capital Investment Initiative" have already been implemented.
