In this day and age of increasing social isolation, there is a noticeable trend of people relocating to cities and towns that offer a higher quality of life. Certainly, drivers such as a lower cost of living, vast open space, and a top-notch school system come to mind right away. What is perhaps less obvious is a deep desire to reside in communities governed by formal sustainability plans that not only encourage but function as a result of layperson involvement. The city of Temecula, CA (population 115,000) is a shining star in this regard and people are noticing.
While smaller cities can boast, perhaps, greater versatility over their larger counterparts, rarely does this make much of a difference without the right type of leadership. Fortunately for Temecula, city council member Dr. Matt Rahn has emerged as such a leader. He is adamant that Temecula’s 10-year Quality of Life Master Plan is at the forefront of every decision the city makes.
