It keeps coming back around to "failed land-use policies".
Most land is zoned "ag", which allows everything from pigs to cows to orchards to single-family subdivisions, with "special use" exceptions for just about anything else.
Sane long-term planning creates designated areas for industrial, commercial, residential, with buffer zones. People can buy homes secure in the knowledge that a large-scale dairy operation won't suddenly appear next to their house.
County refuses to address the root causes of this "problem" because it creates guaranteed employment for so many people: in addition to the usual trades, you also need a Planning Commission, and a County Council, and planning consultants, and some extra lawyers.
Meanwhile, we spend lots of time and money arguing "quality of life" instead of living it.
Nailed it!
