Ahmanson Ranch: Housing California's growth won't be accomplished easily in this region.

But perhaps as we come upon a new century there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Metro Investment Report interviews Guy Gniadek, President of Ahmanson Land Company, to talk about the status of The Ranch, dispel any doubt surrounding its viability and generally share his views on the future of large-scale, comprehensive projects in Southern California.
