Affordable Housing Plan Proposed by George Lucas

The film emperor may be striking back.  Filmmaker George Lucas has tried, for 25 years, to persuade his Marin County, California, neighbors to let him build a digital production studio on his ranch there, but the area's residents opposed the plan.

So Lucas has come up with an alternative for his Grady Ranch property, to build low-income housing on it.

Lucas plans to sell the property to the Marin Community Foundation, a non-profit that has already funded more than 2,500 units of affordable housing and will explore options for developing Grady Ranch.
