00:00:01.340 - 00:00:29.260

Yeah. Yeah. We propose something to do something that hasn't ever been done in the United States, although it's been done in the northern part of europe in England, Denmark, the Scandinavian countries and Holland. And that is to place a certain uh zoning upon agricultural land and

00:00:29.270 - 00:00:45.530

by the development rights from the owners in that way it remains in agriculture and is not changed to some other use. So a person who did buy it for investment wouldn't necessarily lose the money he put into it no, far from it. Most of these people

00:00:45.540 - 00:01:04.420

uh find that making wine is quite profitable. They grow the grapes, they make the wine and then it's bottled and sold all over the world now. And for that reason it the the grape growing land has held its own against the prices offered for land that

00:01:04.420 - 00:01:18.380

will be a subdivisions with the whole napa valley then be sort of like a giant park. It wouldn't be, it would be a park in beauty, but people could not enter on the land and the owners would own it just as they do now and they

00:01:18.380 - 00:01:34.890

could sell it or they could, will it to their Children. And uh, life would go on here exactly what is going on now. It just means that they could not sell the land for uh, urban purposes. What's your next step? Ah, We hope that the University

00:01:34.890 - 00:01:56.260

of California and the Association of Bay Area governments and uh, some organizations will indicate to the National Park Service that they are very much in favor of doing something at this time to preserve some agricultural land and there's no better place to begin the napa Valley.

00:01:58.540 - 00:01:58.750

Good.
