Very exciting to see advocacy groups getting behind California Forever. I was sold even before I read the entire thing, but I’m always into normalizing the process of careful, iterative, and continuous construction of beautiful places for people to exist.

I believe Solano will be a blueprint for better-informed infill development and redevelopment of all of California’s cities.

My city has about 3500 structures and a current mean replacement time of 300+ years. This is unsustainable, as most of the 1950s era homes will be rebuilt in the next couple of decades, hopefully informed by Solano’s successful example.
