“Our Board is serious about finding pathways to building new housing,” Barger said. “In unincorporated communities, more than 90,000 additional housing units must be accommodated in our land use plans to meet statewide housing demand. Large scale development and sustainability shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. My motion helps future housing development projects evolve by analyzing what it takes to achieve zero-net energy development standards in those communities.”
The motion calls for county subject matter experts to develop a net-zero feasibility analysis, based on input and insights from both private industry and labor partners, that can help developers overcome challenges.
Barger represents the county’s Fifth District, which is home to some of the largest new developments in the region, including the FivePoint Valencia and Tejon Ranch Centennial projects. The former has committed to being net-zero and is proof that housing development can be done sustainably.
“We must do everything in our power to integrate sustainability and environmentally friendly energy standards into current and future development,” said Barger. “If we don’t pursue these efforts, it would be a missed opportunity for generations to come. We simply can’t afford that.”

Is Wilbur a conservative? If so, he has my vote regardless if he runs as Dem or GOP. Tulsi Gabbard is my hero.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger’s a clown
Tim Scott says
Well, yes, this is true. And yet because of the way the districts are drawn and the R she attaches to her name there is no way to be shed of her. It is demonstrably true that republican voters would elect Attila the Hun or Wilbur the pig as long as they run as republicans.
