...and 20 story highrises near the RR tracks. End of the low-profile suburbs as we know them. Uglification, coming right up.
Its interesting that twentieth century European and Asian Socialist dictators moved all of their populations out of the cities and into the country to till the fields.

This is representative of what’s going on in many other states, and a huge factor in the housing bubble. Prices went partly up unneccesarily due to the false scarcity of building lots.
Anyone who has flown over the West understands that land scarcity is not a reality. But Greenies and NIMBYs have the development industry by the throat, and their kids and grandkids will live in the projects, in some stranger’s spare room, or their parents attic because of it.

Anyone conservative left in California: It is time to get the heck out NOW.
There is no saving it; let it collapse and implode, then you can go back and rebuild afterwards.
This is called sustainable development or “smart growth” and is an offshoot of Agenda 21 of the Biodiversity Treaty.
New land-use law's meaning: Politicians and major political contributors own massive land tracts near proposed transit projects.
