  Sonoma County officials are aiming to add more than three-thousand homes over a five-year period. Just under 14-hundred housing units could be built on county-owned land, and another two-thousand could go up on on other sites by 2022.  Supervisor Shirlee Zane, who represents Central Santa Rosa, said yesterday that failure to tackle the housing crisis could affect employers because prospective workers won’t be able to afford living in the region.  The board’s ambitious goal is part of a broader plan that includes road funding.
