I am generally in favor of supply side solutions to housing, but I'm also pissed about the environmental cost of that develop ent, especially in a market favoring construction of giant homes on giant lots.
Not just environmental. Very productive and irreplaceable farmland in the east side of California's Central Valley is be being eaten up by housing development.
- HillaryBriss 7y ago> productive and irreplaceable farmland in the east side of California's Central Valley is be being eaten up by housing development seems like an under reported story. where is this happening? is it housing tracts with hundreds of units or individual homes with large lots?
- your-nanny 7y agomost cities in the central valley are growing. My hometown has grown from a population of 27k in 1970 to 133k today, with massive developments on West side replacing walnut groves. Same story pretty much everywhere. Farmers can make a lot of cash selling land to developers, and people complain about the dust and smell and other pollution from farms neighboring their new homes.
