Contra Costa County, one of California's original 27 counties, is a massive, fragmented, and diverse set of political, cultural, and physical lines that is a microcosm of regional fragmentation. It has also become one of the great battlegrounds in the planning fights of late twentieth-century California. Environmentalists and developers battled to an expensive and politically costly draw over a development in the heart of the county called Dougherty Valley. In the end, little progress was made in the deeper struggle against the unsustainable, unequal, and rapidly resegregating region, in part because no matter which side had “won” the battle over Dougherty Valley, the region and those impacted by its fragmentation and segregation would have lost. This is the so-called “Dougherty Valley dilemma,” which is the focus of this chapter.

This chapter examines why resegregation was never prevented by the state of California. It asks, why did California, the world's greatest urban project during the first three quarters of the twentieth century, decide that it no longer needed to collectively invest in its urban future? Why did it not develop a more functional system of urban and regional politics that could have dealt with the sins of the postwar era? Why could it not wean itself from an overreliance on certain forms of infrastructure without constructing an entirely new map of inequality? A common recent explanation for this inaction reaches beyond development politics to basic governance. A second set of reasons for inaction fits squarely within the focus on neoliberalism and Reaganite revanchism.
