The state legislature has passed a bill aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses in California by discouraging suburban sprawl and lengthy commutes. The bill, SB 375, would reward urban development around transportation hubs. We look at some of the bill’s provisions and at what housing would look like if it passes.

Guests:

Darrell Steinberg, senator and president pro-tempore elect of the California State Senate

Doug Kimsey, planning director for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission

Paul Rogers, environmental writer for the San Jose Mercury News and managing editor of Quest, KQED's science and environment series

Kirk Trost, general counsel for the Sacramento Area Council of Governments
