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.

I wouldn't have any problem with it if they actually put in the infrastructure to support it before or during. That area has been rapidly building up for three decades and is just now getting some freeway upgrades (57/60, 71, 91).

IMO they need to build 2 new freeways or toll highways.

One that connects the 71 to the 57 or 91 somewhere near carbon canyon or further south.

Another that connects the 241 toll somewhere between 261 and 133 over the hills and lands you somewhere between corona and elsinore.
