This is the list of ideas that the August 23rd brainstorming session on land use and transportatin

1. Create "farming communities" based on models used in Germany.  The village is surrounded by farm land so that the farmer walks out his back door and a short distance to his farm.
2. Support, promote and maybe subsidize agricultural homesteading beyond the Urban Boundary.
3. Recognize that "non-paid" work or labor has value/exchange based on labor/trade basis.  This will be part of the Economic Shifting that will occur.
4. Change zoning laws/ordinances so that residential, business and small-scale farms can all be near each other.  This will lower energy, transportation and labor to get products to local markets.
5. Subsidize Land Trusts, agricultural conservation and easements to protect agricultural lands from development for other than agricultural and farm use.
6. Develop a plan for transitioning toward free public transportation throughout city and county.
7. Remove restrictions on number of adults who can live in same house. 
   
   a.  Increase property taxes on lower density houses based on occupancy.
   
   b. Decrease taxes on higher density occupancy.
8. Remove restrictions under Section 8 and public housing that prohibits people from sharing a dwelling.
9. Reclaim residential roadways through transitioning into non-car use.  For example, in residential areas every two or three streets can be converted into non-car use.  This is already happening in neighborhoods through City Repair Project.
10. Yellow Bike Program
11. Develop plan for using boats, barges and other watercraft for transport of people, food, supplies etc. in transition process or crisis.  
12. Develop registration and licensing process for mobilizing and safety.
13. Ramp up use of local trains and Amtrak for both transition and crisis.
14. Take money earmarked for "third runway at airport" and transfer to use for sustainable transportation.  Use money for creating more bike lanes, more walking areas in neighborhoods, and to expand free zones on Tri Met, etc.
