Alright, y'all. Check it out. There are meetings going on. Here's your chance to get involved in a democratic, public process. Don't wait until the county makes a decision to get on here and be all "socialism derp a derp tyranny durr de durr shoving it down out throats."

Ah, who am I kidding?

I'd like to see the zoning process result in designated higher-density "growth areas" connected to the city center with transit, to help preserve the county's farmland and open space.
