Are you in Somis? I think those citizens will resist it as long as they can. The new high school - not MOVING the HS - was supposed to be behind LA Workout. Santa Clara HS from Oxnard had wanted to move into the seminary, but the archdioscese did not think that was a good idea.

I'm in Mission Oaks. I'm not up to speed on the High School but I know it was under discussion for a while until Oxnard refused to give up control. I think it's an issue that won't go away.

Those strawberry fields are just too tempting to developers to last much longer. When I look at all the development in Santa Rosa Valley I know in my bones the Camarillo-Somis corridor is next. I recall the lovely avocado orchards near the RR tracks kitty-corner from the workout center that have been replaced by the ugliest high-density development I've ever seen anywhere. I couldn't be paid enough to live there. And I remember the acres of orange groves owned by the Archdiocese that have been relaced by $1 million + houses crammed so close together they give me claustrophobia. Guess I'm just getting old and cranky.
