About 2,900 homes in Yuba County are in the foreclosure process (www.foreclosures.com).

Yet they want to build another 5,000 and more houses in the Yuba Highlands scheme. They just don’t get it; economics are driven by supply and demand. There is already a glut of existing housing in Yuba County. Real estate values are falling. There are thousands more units approved and planned for existing communities, yet the Planning Commission continues to approve hundreds more units.

What is your house worth today? Could you sell it if you had to?

Vote “no” to “dumb growth.” Vote “no” to encroachment. Vote “no” to a “rubber-stamp” planning department. Vote “no” to taxpayer bailout of failed infrastructure. Vote “no” to Yuba Highlands. Vote “no” on Measure N.
