Residents of wildomar were snookered
"snookered" as a slang verb that means to "deceive, cheat, or dupe: at what was billed as a “Tiny House Village Meeting”
The original concept of what the meeting was to be can be found in the city council minutes of September 14, 2016 Agenda Item 3.1:

The only reference to “Tiny Houses” can be found in one place at the top of the cover sheet of the handout.
When asked about Tiny Houses by one of the attendees Mr. Roberson, a leader of the evening’s session, state that Tiny Houses was only a small part of the process and the the focus of the evening would be on the Local Framework Approach (LFA) of identifying the problem and coming up with solutions.

To start with this meeting was attended by 28 individuals, many representing county government, city government, local organizations that work with the homeless, local churches, former homeless individuals and 4 citizens that showed up to hear about Tiny House Villages.
What the late afternoon boiled down to was discussing what hasn’t worked in decades and how maybe to continue to do the same things, only a little differently.
