   Hi Paul,   
      
   802.11 reality:   
      
   Nobody reads anything Alan Baker ever says because his IQ is actually at   
   the retard level (roughly no better than about 40 IQ).   
      
   He denies everything he can't comprehend - which - is everything.   
      
   One look at the Hillside (HS) zoning in unincorporated Santa Clara County   
   would show the idiot that 40-acre zoning is the norm for Hillsides.   
       
    HS (Hillside District) = 40-acre minimum parcel size   
    AR (Agricultural Ranchlands District) -> 40-acre minimum parcel size   
      
   Specifically Santa Clara County Ordinance Code Zoning Ordinance, Chapter   
   2.40, Section 2.40.110 (HS - Hillside District): "The minimum parcel size   
   in the HS district shall be forty (40) acres" and Section 2.40.120 (AR   
   Agricultural Ranchlands District) also requires 40 acres minimum.   
      
   Since most people out here have far more than 40 acres, they apparently get   
   a tax break if they can justify agricultural use, but I don't bother.   
   í°    
      
   As for Alan Baker, he disputes everything he can't comprehend.   
   Which is everything.   
      
   It's not worth responding to him since his IQ is at the retarded level.
