GOLDEN LANDS

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

To ensure a healthy future for vital Bay Area lands and the people who depend on them, we believe that:

• Every resident, current and future, should be able to rely on Bay Area lands to provide clean drinking water, clean air, and protection from disasters like flooding, landslides, and climate change.
• Every resident should be able to live in a walkable neighborhood with affordable homes, good jobs, and reliable public transit, where new development revitalizes the community rather than consuming irreplaceable farmland and natural areas.
• Every resident should have access to fresh, affordable food from local farms and ranches.
• Every resident should live within easy walking distance of a park that is safe and clean, have access to trails connecting cities and parks,
  and be able to easily reach larger natural areas like regional parks, beaches, and forests.
• Every resident should have the opportunity to help decide how to sustain their community and natural areas, and should benefit from the health of both.
