Excerpts from SFGate.com
This is Fresno, a city with the look of a strip mall and the soul of a country town. Fresno is a cautionary tale of planning gone wrong and development gone wild. Add to the mix a whiff of civic corruption and you have a glimpse of a different future from the future the optimists see for California. Fresno is the only large California city that Fodor's Guide describes as ``depressing... The huge spurt of growth -- the bad planning decisions, the proliferation of strip malls -- did not happen entirely by accident. A continuing federal investigation called Operation Rezone resulted this spring in 13 convictions for bribery and corruption involving planning and zoning decisions. Five of those convicted were members of the Fresno or Clovis city councils. ``The bottom line,'' Wanger said, ``is always the dollar.'' The whole story, the runaway growth, the loss of prime farmland, the bribes, the emergence of an ugly new Fresno, is a sad one.
