This November, the voters of Ventura, California will determine if additional housing will be added to their hillside community when they vote on Measure A. Slow growth advocates attempted to block Measure A from reaching the ballot, ensuring that the hillside would not assume additional housing units. The Planning Report presents an interview with Amy Forbes, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, in which she discusses the backstory on the obstacles facing hillside development in Ventura and the legal challenge brought against Measure A.
