In the News: Coastal regulators champion Bo-Linda, dismiss challenge (Pt. Reyes Light)

“The California Coastal Commission has rejected an effort to shut down an emergency R.V. park that is providing temporary housing to nearly 60 Latino residents who were living in substandard conditions on a Bolinas ranch.

The commissioners unanimously rebuffed a request last Thursday from opponents of the project who claimed that it threatened wetlands and violated the county’s coastal development rules. They voted after hearing pleas from R.V. park residents who said they would have no place to go if their park closed. The residents have named it Bo-Linda Vista, or “Beautiful Bolinas View.”
