Opponents of Measure F aren't telling the truth.

They claim that annexation of the Measure F area to Antioch "can't happen" and is "impossible."

The opposite is true.

If Measure F is approved, the land will be annexed into Brentwood and Brentwood will decide if homes are allowed. Brentwood will have control.

However, if Measure F is defeated, here's how the area can get into Antioch:

1. Antioch's voters approve an initiative including this area in Antioch's own Urban Limit Line
2. The Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approves the shift to Antioch. LAFCO members have already indicated that they are open to putting this area into Antioch depending on the results of the Measure F election.

That's it.

This is the process Measure F opponents claim "can't" happen. Their allegations are especially strange since this is exactly howRoddy Ranch was annexed to Antioch!

Some additional details.

1. An Antioch initiative can be brought forth by ANY of the following:
   1. The Antioch City Council
   2. A group of Antioch citizens
   3. Other property owners
   4. The Measure F property owners
2. The City Council of Antioch is NOT required to either approve or even support the annexation.
3. Brentwood residents would NOT be allowed to vote.
