A battle is brewing over Green Oak Ranch in Vista. The city made its first move to compete with the county for that 138-acre property.

Some 30 families are renting space in the Green Oak Ranch RV Park, and each family is just a paycheck or two away from having no place to live at allThere is also a third interested party, Solutions for Change, which the mayor says has already bid on the property. All three seem to have the same goal of addressing addiction and homelessness, but the debate is over who gets to control it.Much of Green Oak Ranch has the look of a nature preserve with birds and burros.

Vista Mayor John Franklin says selling Green Oak Ranch to the county would spell the end of the ministry and its work. "Our region urgently needs a campus for healing, providing sober housing and ongoing services, Board Chair Nora Vargas wrote, in part, in a statement emailed to NBC 7."I see it not only as a campus for healing but as a beacon of hope," Desmond wrote.“Any time the county becomes the owner of a parcel, they don’t have to ask the city council for land use authority,“ Franklin said.“Keeping it in the city of Vista would be our answered prayer," Correa said.
