' [Journalist Doni Chamberlin] fears for the future of Shasta county and the repercussions it could have. “I think we’re a test case for rightwing folks like [Mike] Lindell,” she said. “These big heavy-hitting wealthy people are using Shasta county, I believe, as this little petri dish … And so far, it’s working. I’m watching it unveil before my very eyes. And it’s terrifying.” '

This is absolutely fantastic. Shock that the moment you take zoning power away from the cities (all of them) hell bent on preventing building, you get a ton of new housing development. Man, who could have guessed that. /s

Seriously though, this is great. It will take many years of development at this rate to start undoing the damage caused by zoning policies set by my parents generation, but for once there is hope.

Good thinking spot. Zooming and panning my old pics become my best planning resource for next season.
