I’m glad to hear your area will not be the new home of a ghetto. I hate those low-income homes and the developers that push them. There are a few that are being proposed in my area and it just sucks.

Congrats on keeping the peace in La Mesa! My “town” is also properly classified as a village. However, no one is taking heed of any of the letters to the local congressman I’m sure. Somehow, they’ve squeezed three more subdivisions, a public library, 2 mini shopping centers, and a handful of grocery stores, gas stations, and fast food restaurants. The traffic is terrible (especially between the 3 schools that are all within WALKING distance) and there is always some vehicular accident drama going on. No one has any elbow ‘oom and somehow recently I found out theyre making plans to build ANOTHER school (Primary). Insane. I need to get out of here I cannot breathe!!! Anyhow, I’m glad you’re able to keep your village..a VILLAGE and not turned into a circus act of population <3

Nile,

Right now, the hope is that some of the farmers will be able to buy the land and share-crop it. Ultimately it will depend on whether or not the developer will accept this loss and get what money he can, or whether he’s going to continue fighting this.

I would like to think that since the community stonewalled him for two years, and that the County Commission denied it, he will be looking for a new place to build. *crosses fingers*

It is great that it was denied. It would be great if it returned to being farmland. Every year farmland is being turned into something else due to the same situation. Perhaps a big corporation can step in and make a farm out of it. It would create jobs, food, and keep it environmentally friendly.
