CA town’s plan to declare itself mountain lion sanctuary to avoid building affordable housing is against the law

A California town’s plan to declare itself a mountain lion sanctuary as a way to avoid having to build affordable housing is against the law, the state attorney general said Sunday. 

The wealthy Silicon Valley enclave of Woodside announced in a memorandum last week that it was exempt from a new state housing law that allows for duplex development on single-family lots because the entire town is habitat for endangered cougars.

*****

If the State had any balls, they'd have said "Okay, fine," and then announced a plan to release problem lions into their new sanctuary.

    I'd rather have a 'hood full of problem mountain lions than one full of the sort of people they would move into "affordable housing".

    That looks like a smug little burg that could benefit from some cultural enrichment//S
    THAT said, I'd rather live where mountain lions prowl than where section 8'ers prowl, too.

    Nothing makes sense in California anymore. Every "solution" to every problem for the last 20 years or more has been just another problem that needs to be "solved". Their go to plan for everything is to shove their heads further up their asses then pat themselves on the back until they need PT.

    The AG can say it's against the law, but a judge will have the final say.

    I'm sure Woodside does have a few wild wealthy cougars running around town. I wish I could find one :)

    Wikipedia- "Woodside is among the wealthiest communities in the United States with a median household income of $212,917, median family income of $246,042 and median home price exceeding $4 million. Woodside has a long-standing equestrian legacy and is home to many horse stables, ranches and equestrian centers."

    At one time Joe Montana had an estate there. Back when I was a kid it was more like a wooded town in the Sierra Foothills, loaded with trees, some of them Redwoods. It was a little world unto itself, completely unlike the cities below.
    I'm sure the proposition that ended the hunting of mountain lions in '97 probably passed with close to 100% approval from the citizens of Woodside.

    Hmmm. Mountain lions, or vibrant diversity, at our expense. Decisions, decisions.

    Nobody's gonna argue that the mountain lion was just getting it's life toget- aww crap, I can't type this again.

    I'm going to the range. Who's coming?
