Instead of requiring 635 acres of forest land to be set aside it should have looked at zoning and an impact study.

If the objective is low income senior housing or the scattered site voucher program then building in a forested area resolves the zoning and property value issues for existing residents and preserves an advantage for the Pebble Beach Company as the town homes would be highly desirable.

Isn’t this another example of government gone bad and the need to review the Sustainability program which is causing poor governmental decision making?

Without a doubt, if I can move to Pebble Beach and get a “low cost” town house, I will quit working and become another California bum.

Doesn’t anyone remember that the benefits of being American has always been that American citizens are motivated to work because he who works hardest and smartest gets the goodies.

Today the California mentality is 180 from the America I know. Elected officials demand that illegals and welfare frauds get the best and we just work and pay for it. Do those officials live among them. Gee, I don’t think so!!!!!!

Just sayin-

I live in one. My mother-in-law lives in one. Why not go that direction? It is cheap and quick. If you don’t want them near your expensive homes, then set aside space somewhere else.
