Can we find any other reasons why thousands of new housing construction units are gobbling up the farmland?

Can you say "White Flight," without being called a racist? An awful lot of those exurban refugees in my conservative enclave county are former Orange County and Bay Area escapees. Trouble is... Liberals are fleeing here too, with an instant NIMBY attitude as they see this as their last refuge in CA.

Now their celebrity "Republican" Governor has thown a Socialistic and ecomomically suffocating "Wet Blanket" over the entire Sierra-Nevada so their children will be forced to commute to a GovernMental job in Sacramento, (unless they want seasonal work as a whitewater rafting guide/busdriver) further clogging US-50 & I-80 with unbearable traffic!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, GANG-GREEN is tying new home and business building in our General Plan to traffic engineer's "Level of Service" ratings through direct democracy ballot box extreme measures and through the courts at the same time!!!

In other words... Rush is exactly correctomundo. The "Red" county, just east of Sacramento is being rapidly changed to a "Blue" voting county by a demographic shift that's been creating a "culture clash" like you could only believe if you had lived here for over 25 years and could see it happening.

Then you see all this "Rural Cleansing" eminating from the Legislature and a Governor that was supposed to be on "our side" and one is tempted to dispair! Especially when so many on FR have swooned over our not so conservative new Governor and his brand spanking new Sierra-Nevada CONserVacancy!!!
