A very interesting conversation with Jack Marshall, president of Advocates for a Sustainable Population (ASAP) (archived: 2021). [no, not that ASAP (archived: 2011)]
Listen to the discussion at Charlottesville Podcasting Network.
One would think that with the money ASAP got from the Charlottesville and Albemarle governments they’d be able to get their website up and running.
While looking at Charlottesville Tomorrow for the above links, I saw that ASAP got the first funding from the City in August 2007 and the County in March 2008; we might reach the so-called sustainable population limits before they finish their studies. 🙂
