Maybe. Then, they have to come up with the growth. That involves, basically, coming up with a forecast of everything that will be built in Bakersfield for the next 20 years — single family homes, mutli-family residential, fast-food joints, grocery stores, strip malls, coffee kiosks, office buildings, warehouses.
