How is it that county-owned land in Santa Barbara gets transformed into micro-ranches for rich folks, one of whom just happens to be the governor for California?
"Tuesday's event, at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, is just north of a 25-acre coastal enclave Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, bought this spring for $4.7 million. A former Santa Barbara County ranch in Carpinteria is being transformed into privately owned estates."
Is this just another one of those sleazy-ass land deals that California (and Florida) is known for? Or is there a tad bit of favoritism/corruption going on?

The ranch was privately owned, and probably zoned "rural ranchland". The only favoritism involved is whatever palm-greasing occurred to get it re-zoned for residential so that its private owners could sell it off to developers.
