"Infill" was back in Arnie's original environmental plan that you so ably dissected and exposed.

And here's where the 43 billion infrastructure bond money went (among other places). I wonder how much Mr. Mayo & Co. might have received.

 

      (n) Six hundred fifty million dollars ($650,000,000) shall be
    deposited in the Regional Planning, Housing, and Infill Incentive
    Account, which is hereby created in the fund. Funds in the account
    shall be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, and
    subject to such other conditions and criteria as the Legislature may
    provide in statute, for the following purposes:
       (1) For grants for preservation of open space, acquisition of
    wildlife habitat, and easements on agricultural land consistent with
    mitigation and growth policies contained in a regional growth plan.
       (2) For infill incentive grants for capital outlay related to
    infill development, including, but not limited to, all of the
    following:
       (A) Urban park creation, development, or rehabilitation.
       (B) Water, sewer, or other public infrastructure costs associated
    with infill development.
       (C) Transportation improvements related to infill development
    projects.
       (D) Traffic mitigation.
       (3) For brownfield cleanup that promotes infill development
    consistent with regional and local plans.
