Today’s show takes a deep dive into Flagstaff’s controversial Regional Plan 2045 — the massive land use blueprint voters are being asked to approve that will shape housing, transportation, development, density, climate policy, infrastructure, and growth for decades to come. And yes… I called it a “crappy plan” more than once. We break down what’s actually inside the document: * the heavy focus on “sustainability,” “equity,” and climate action * the push for compact growth and higher-density housing * the connection between housing policy and carbon reduction goals * Smart Growth planning philosophies * how future zoning, transportation, and development decisions could be impacted * why this plan matters far beyond a simple vision statement We also discuss: * whether higher density will really lower housing costs * if climate goals are starting to override neighborhood concerns * how much control these long-range plans give planners and government * why only a small percentage of land around Flagstaff is privately owned * and whether this is truly about affordability… or reshaping how people live If you care about the future of Flagstaff, housing, development, growth, taxes, traffic, water, or government planning — this is a conversation you need to hear.
