I agree with lady own,the zoning stinks in the country. families that want to live close that should be your business not the county. I tried living my my mother in a mobile home and they said no but yet trailers are all around us.its not fair when you have an eldery person and you cant live by them because the stupied zoning.unless its a fancy subdivision you should be able to live in a mobile home.there are double wides that cost more than homes but yet you cant have them on your property. why don’t people have guts and speak up for the rights around here,

Hey Lady,
Do you know why the current zoning in North Escambia came to be??? Because certian individuals fought against a developer who was trying to put a series of Low Income Housing units right in the middle of Bratt!! One of them was to be a trailer park of about 200 units!! The other right next to Northview on his land!! Without the current Zoning laws, you my dear my very well have a housing project full of crime and drugs next door. OR a chemical plant OR a garbage dump. No zoning laws are like most laws…a few people make it bad for the rest of us!

Look at the zoning we have now which stinks. Your children cannot be given a parcel of land to build near you without it’s so many acres. We who live in the country and own land this stinks. Do what you want in the city but leave the country part of Escambia County alone. The people who live on the beach pay very little taxes and when they build close to the water and a storm comes along and washes their sand out what do we do but go in and refurbish their land for them at no cost. Oh, there is a cost but the rest of us who live away from the beach front property pay for it. If we want to deed our children one acre of land we should be able to do so. If we had a county commissioner that would stand up for we the northern part of Escambia county this would be repealed ASAP.

I opposed the zoning. We had a saying, “Don’t zone it, you don’t own it.” Some may say that the land use must be controlled for the good of society-SOCIALISM!
