Nice work, Andy. Just goes to show you how important it is having an objective or simply "free" press on watch over what local government is doing. This is only one of many reasons to lament the loss of the Santa Barbara News-Press. At this point, except for people such as you, nobody's minding the store!

Thank you for your efforts.

Yes, we have only to look to the Oxnard plain and Camarillo where acres of the most prime topsoil has been paved over with higher density housing. It's criminal.

Our governor wants 30% of California to be in Conservancy by 2030 and 50% 2050. These are also Biden’s plans for the nation. I guess that’s the reason we can’t just start a new city. And yes, they want to stack and pack people vertically instead of sprawl. And I don’t understand the selective rezoning.

It may sound wild but I believe it’s for eventual control. Once living in a stack & pack environment, your utilities, entrance/exits can be controlled and rationed.
