Protect land slated for subdivision development
Target:
President Barack Obama
Sponsored by:
Over two million acres of wildlfe lands, working farmlands, and natural areas are lost each year to development in our country due to outdated subdivision ordinances. These antiquated ordinances require "cookie-cutter" subdivision developments that pollute our lakes, rivers and streams.
What if we could preserve clean water, natural areas, wildlife and working farms in new neighborhoods while accommodating growth and preserving property values? We can. The only thing stopping us is outdated planning codes.
Conservation subdivisions preserve natural areas, clean water, working farms, and wildlife. Working with innovative planners, we can preserve property values, family values and community values.

Dear President Obama,
Outdated subdivision ordinances across our country are requiring developers to build conventional "cookie-cutter" subdivisions that pollute clean water and needlessly destroy natural areas, working farmland and wildlife lands.
Conservation subdivisions preserve 50% to 70% or more of the buildable land, PLUS unbuildable wetlands, steep slopes and floodplains while allowing the same number of homesites as conventional "cookie-cutter" subdivision developments. Developers and landowners will embrace conservation subdivisions as the study "The Economics of Conservation Subdivisions" by Wayne State University (MI) prove that that "lots in conservation subdivisions carry a premium, are less expensive to build, and sell more quickly than lots in conventional subdivisions."
We ask you to immediately make conservation subdivisions the "by right, permitted use" (everyday use) in states, towns and counties across our nation. LandChoices is happy to provide a FREE downloadable conservation subdivision ordinance at downloadtheordinance.org.
Such action would be consistent with your support to reduce climate change and global warming.

The ability to protect nature and wildlife is our most precious resource that we have. We are losing natural habitat at an alarming rate. There is a housing glut and we do not need more subdivisions.

We don't need more subdivisions. There are plenty of homes, and other areas to build homes. If we do build new subdivisons, this plan would be a terrific bonus. |

The idea of having common green spaces, relatively smaller houses and common " meeting areas" helps better preserve the land while also bringing people together in common interests-

There is absolutely no need for more housing or development in this country! The economy has shown that we have plenty of unused developments already.

Sprawl is one of the most significant ways our society increases our green house gas production. Our need to go from our home to work or other places produces more greenhouse gas emissions than other countries because our home development structure is one of spreading out. This increases the distance between locations restraining us from using less or non grreenhouse gas producing vehicles in many instances. We need a better strategy and policy that will help us to have an infrastructure that does not in an of itself increase the production of greenhouse gases.
