I would buy it, but like all these land deals developers have the right people under their total control to enable the kind of zoning that only artificially makes the price prohibitive. Take a look at every Riverside county supervisor’s campaign contributions’ and you will find developers make up for 90% or more of the total contributions. When former supervisor Jim Venable left, he suddenly was found to been spending far beyond his financial means. He was what you could call a “sugar daddy” for developers, for which he never met a development proposal he did not approve (for a price of course).

I'll tell you how blatant it has been here. The developer hired one of the city council members. And she moved into one of the houses in the development he built. It is, of course, all very innocent.
