Notable quotes: “On climate, people are feeling that we’re truly in this period of emergency and wanting Davis to be a leader in carbon negativity, not even just carbon neutrality.” (Source: Davis Vanguard)
“Starting with the downtown plan and then working our way really to think about how soon can we do a general plan update. How do we get a 5, 10, 20-year strategic vision for housing development that meets our affordable requirements, but also is climate-friendly.” (Source: Davis Vanguard)
