What they don't emphasize is, in exchange for this setting aside of land, the deal is, the developer gets to build 14,000 homes on areas that are NOT set aside for wilderness. The traffic in this area is atrocious as it is and I can't imagine another 14,000+ cars, most of which are trying to get to the 5 freeway during rush hour.
Oh no! There goes a major source of Cali protein.
