So lessee... The Coastal Commission to stop development... The Tahoe CONservancy to stop development... The Santa Monica Mountains CONservancy to stop development... The Sierra-Nevada CONservancy to stop development... (Plus half a dozen more State funded CONservancies I can't remember the names of) The GREAT VALLEY CENTER to create the next GREAT CONservancy... (see www.greatvalley.org)
Okay... It looks to me like there's no other place with buildable land BUT the Great Valley Farmland to have development for the hordes flooding into CA!!!
And if you doubt what's in Reply #32, above, just Google "Conservancy+California" and study what you get with an eye toward discovering the involvement of taxpayer funds.
You got it.
