Israeli bulldozers had come in a week prior and destroyed his house and livelihood, and those of 2 other neighbouring families, tearing down 3 houses in total and 17 dunams of treed land.

Trees thrive along the road and thrived on the bulldozed, fertile land. The air fresh with moisture, promising rain. What wheat remains is already tall for the season.

The first commercial purchase Rob Rossi made was the old Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house on Garden Street in San Luis Obispo, about 150 feet from Rossi Enterprise headquarters on Pismo Street.

In 1976, a year out of Cal Poly?s architecture program, he was employed as an architect but financially strapped, so he asked his parents for a loan to buy the dilapidated structure. It not only smelled rotten, but it leaned like a sailboat on the open sea.

Rob Rossi ? shown on his Santa Margarita Ranch property in 2008 ? won approval for the first phase of developing the property, but legal challenges have snarled the process and no homes have been built yet.
