- <p> Developer is a bad name in California, even if it belongs
- to Joan Baez. The local press has accused the folk singer of
- environmental incorrectness in selling her 141 acres of Contra
- Costa County farmland. Seems she hired a land-use planner to
- design an "old-world pedestrian village" with a day-care center,
- parks and granny flats for seniors. Now Baez intends to sell the
- plan and the land to builders without further participation.
- Critics complain she's more concerned with profits than
- patronage. Never mind that she's already given 25% of the land
- to a human-rights group.
