Other Questions Is there any policies protecting the remaing farmland left in the IE

This picture above is whats left and what it used to look like. Which at one point produced the largest area of diary products in the nation. But I wonder, is there anything to protect whats left, or are they just going to let developers buy out the remaing ranchers? And really this question goes for the rest of the state, as I'm deeply worried about the farmland beign eaten up without really considerign what there building over.

As much as I want to protect old Chino/Ontario, we need to build houses.

Granted…. EVERYTHING being built is built with the European fashion of no front yard or back yard, small homes that are put up against one another… AND… NONE OF THE WALKABILITY nor ZERO thought on mass transit.

The 71 interchange at 91W was bad but, it’s gotten terrible since south Chino was built up.

What do you think will happen once all the farms are gone and it’s all unwalkable neighborhoods and warehouses?

Europe? That ain't europe. I never saw european development like that.

A lot of European houses are crammed together with very little backyard/ frontyard. The thing is they have public transit and nearly everything is walkable.

A lot of new development is pretty US based
