SOAR Protects Ventura County’s Open Space.
SOAR (Save Open Space and Agricultural Resources) is a series of voter initiatives that protect open space and farmland by vote of the people. The County SOAR requires a vote countywide before agricultural, rural or open space land in the unincorporated county can be rezoned for development. The eight voter-approved SOAR initiatives passed by the cities of Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Ventura require a citywide vote of approval for urban development beyond a City Urban Restriction Boundary (CURB), or, in the case of the City of Ventura, before rezoning agricultural land within the city’s sphere of influence. The Thousand Oaks SOAR initiative also protects open space and parks within the city.

Thank you I emailed the Department of the Interior
It is important to oppose defunding national parks and endangered species in order to give tax cuts to Billionaires. The entire National Park system is run for less than the crypto-scam money already taken in by the Trump Crime Family. I support public lands. I oppose our Grifter-in-Chief.
Instead of worrying about the waste in government being cut.Maybe you should worry about the giant complexes of supposed migrant ffarrm worker housing being built in Camarillo on the city line. And with more future monstrous complexes plan.
Don't be afraid to call out local politicians on all levels who support the party of our local environmental destruction. They may claim to be middle of the road or common sense republican. But now we know. Every single one will follow orange shitler no matter what. If the clown asked for the Channel Islands to be burned down then many of our neighbors would bring thier own torches. They would burn it down to show their absolutely loyalty to their King in depends. Call them out. Don't support thier business, don't donate to their charities. Run the traitors of their country and environment out of our lands.
Done !✅ 🙌 ✅
