I'm ApexNerd, lets get back to the countdown of the goals of the Growth Management Act.
The State of Washington refuses to set an order of priority for these goals, so I'm doing it for them.
Lucky Number 7 on the priority countdown is...
Sprawl Reduction
The Language
"Reduce the inappropriate conversion of undeveloped land into sprawling, low-density development."
The Score
Priority Index: 98.8
The Reason
This goal clearly comes into play in all jurisdictions, and has a direct impact on every citizen.
While there is not much imperative language in this goal, the goal's language structure is not compromised by the soft word "encourage" that kept most of the previous goals lower on the countdown.
Which goal will come in at #6 on our Countdown?
Stay tuned...
