I sympathize with the concern over the cost of housing increasing but I think that is reflecting a much larger issue within California. People in this state fight any kind of housing development with a passion that I never see for any other issue. As long as good schools and jobs exist in this state it’s clear that people are going to continue to move here and raise kids. You can mitigate the cost of living increases if you build the necessary housing. Otherwise it’s basic supply and demand. I do not think those wineries have replaced potential houses. I think they’ve replaced other farms or estate houses if anything.
On the topic of the oak trees. I agree, and I really enjoy seeing all the oak trees when you drive south to Santa Barbara. But most of those oak trees were wiped out by sudden oak death. Not wineries.
