. The Legislature declares that there are communities in the
State in which a considerable portion of the agricultural lands and
improved commercial and business sites are real property as defined
in this article owned by local agencies situate in distant parts of
the State. These circumstances give rise to relationships between the
inhabitants and the local agencies of the communities and the owners
of the property which require the exercise of the police power of
the State, for the reconciliation of the respective rights, duties,
powers, and privileges of the inhabitants and the agencies involved.
These conditions are accentuated by periods of inflation in respect
to real property sales prices and rental rates, particularly in those
areas in which a distant local agency owns and controls the greater
part of the lands that are not owned by the State or the United
States.
