FEATURED STORY

“RIVER ISLANDS”: THE ULTIMATE BAD IDEA FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Listeners to Bay Area radio stations frequently hear advertisements for a
massive Lathrop residential project called “River Islands.” The advertisements
tout home construction by a group of award-winning homebuilders on secluded

form of blame-shifting that fails to recognize realities like housing […]

conservationists to realize the ecological value of San Joaquin Valley
watersheds. His training as a Chemical and Systems Engineer enabled him to
provide meticulously detailed criticisms of proposals that would have weakened
the Tuolumne […]
