Who Supports Local Growth and Regional Planning to Deal with Its Consequences?

Edward L. Lascher, Jr.

California State University, Sacramento

Using 1989 and 2002 California survey data, this article offers a multivariate statistical analysis of factors that determine individual support for further growth in one's county as well as support for regional coordination of local land-use decisions. Women and residents of higher per capita income counties were more likely to believe that their county had reached its growth limit. In 2002 we also found that aging changes one's opinion on this issue. Additionally, people who believed "sprawl" to be a very important issue in their region in 2002 were more likely to favor a state mandate requiring the regional coordination of local land uses.

Key Words: urban growth • regional planning • survey
