This will all fall apart. Look what Florida did with Disney… California would would shut these projects down as soon as they got unprofitable for the state. If allowed at all.

Well, that’s what I’m hoping. Considering there’s been land grabs by the likes of Bill Gates (20,000 acres), the Chinese and who knows who else, I sometimes become concerned.

This is absolutely criminal. Whenever they say “affordable housing” it means homes which are quickly and shoddily built, priced in excess of $300,000. Ive personally witnessed the area I live in undergoing changes. The farmland is being bought up and replaced with subdivisions and shopping centers. Historical buildings demolished and changed. We had a historical sign in town for decades for a very old jail from the 1800s and it was repainted with a lending company logo. It seems like nothing can stop these people. You used to be able to visit the jail like a mini historical site, not anymore that I’m aware of. My whole life and the decades before it, the town had remained largely the same. Only very recently these wealthy investors came in and started drastically changing things.

I’m not going to get into what types of retaliation the citizens or your local government employed because no one should have to take up a fight for what’s been rightfully theirs all along. I am so sorry that you lost your childhood memories to these greedy grabbers who have no feelings whatsoever about our country and its history.

It’s quite sad. 50 years ago I lived on something that doesn’t exist anymore and I can still remember a lot of that time today. Saddens me to think I couldn’t visit it again if I wanted to.

Same here. As a child I used to visit my cousins who had woods and a babbling brook behind their house. We loved to play in the woods and find clay underneath rocks along the brook. There was rhubarb that grew along the perimeter of the woods that we munched on.
Developers encroached and it’s all gone, including the brook.

Mine was my aunt and uncle’s cattle ranch in Jackson Hole WY. It was a 1/2 hour walk from the house to the banks of the Snake River. During mating season you could hear the Big Horn rams butting heads in the mountains and the eerie elk calls. Now it’s paved roads and over priced houses and condos.
