This kind of crap is going on all over the country.
In San Diego County, it was some teeny-tiny mouse or something that lived in the desert .. and the environmental whackos had a fit because some people wanted to build apt units out there - and start a small community with hotels, shops, etc.
The ubber-liberal judges in this county kept stuff from being built.
It’s actually all about this “Sustaining” movement. How the Communists, Marxists and Socialists are going to move people back to the cities; all the people who moved out to the suberbs.
