Wood siding back in favor with Wildland Urban Interface

http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/strucfireengineer/pdf/bml/wuiproducts.pdf The department of forestry has just added wood siding back to the approved list of siding materials.  Wow, what was that all about anyway. Just when the fiber cement manufactures thought they had the siding market sewn up.  This is good news for Coastal communities that want to preserve the long tradition of cedar siding.

Will it ever happen?  Kudos to the developer and his team.  Excellent design.  It pains me to think of the remaining hours of  public hearings, reports and meetings they have yet to endure to see this much needed addition to Santa Rosa to fruition.   How can those of us in support of this effort help this move forward?
