Her view is history.

You want the view? Spend your own money and buy the property. If you are unwilling to pay the price, don't whine about it when someone else is.

Kalifornia would be a better place for the country if they turned it all into gravel pits and illegal employment centers (aka; agriculture opportunities)

Californians won't use their own natural resources, and they feel guilty using someone else's.

The solution, it seems to me, is to quit using natural resources. Just stop entirely.

Sit around and hum, perhaps.

I live on the outskirts of Sacramento. Every day to get to town I drive by mile after mile of active gravel pits. This article is simply an example of the environmental-wacko demofascist "reporting" that we get with the Bee. It bears little relation to reality.

The problem is not sand and gravel mining, it is illegal immigration!

Without the huge infux of millions of illegals, the population would be generally stable and the infrastructure adequate, proceeding at a saner pace.

Kalifornia had a net outflow of 750,000 citizens since 1995, but this mumber was overwhelmed by nearly 5 million immigrants, most of them illegal. Stop that problem, and most of the rest are solveable without harsh means.

Too Bad!

Everyone wants things around their neighborhood to stay just the way they were...Its a simplistic view..truly childlike....And completely unjustified.

Not to worry, Kalifornia is too broke to buy dirt, even dirt cheap.
