Same story over here in Santa Rosa. Term limits are needed badly. The developers are the ONLY ones our so called leaders listen to. The developers only care that they get to make more millions and if we have to suffer..no skin off their back.

Can anyone tell if these will be apartments or single family homes? I can’t seem to zoom in well enough to see.

The “MADNESS” is messing up our way of life; “I can’t believe it!” and “Roads are crowded”! Get over yourselves and stop whining like a bunch of infants. People need places to live and raise a family. Same old song and dance every time a subdivision goes up. Be the first ones to colonize Mars, and you can have the quiet zero-people oasis you keep fantasizing about.

Tell Commissioner Barry that you don’t want Escambia County to become Palm Beach County.

OMG! What is happening in the north end. We bought our houses up here to be away from the city and now I step out of my front door and all I see is construction for apartment buildings. I’m sick of this! Within a 3 mile radius of my house there are now 3 different apt complexes going up now counting this one. I’m done!!! I may as well move southward and go back to the exhausting traffic and idiot drivers of Pensacola! Thanks for ruining all of our lives north of Nine Mile Road-hope you all are real happy with taking everything from us while filling your pockets! How do you sleep at night?? Absolutely ridiculous! My house will be going up for sale as well as my land-I’m done!

Doom and gloom. Jimbo has it right. If you want rural you best buy all the land you can and live in the middle of it.
Maybe the government will settle 1000 of the “Immigrants” in the new development, there’s an idea, we should see if Governor De Santis can help flesh out the empty land in the north of the county and bring in a large labor pool.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Those of you complaining about your rural life changing only have been afforded to live a rural life because your neighbors own land that they do not develop. You dont pay the taxes or upkeep on that property, you just reap the benefits. If you really wish to live in “the country” you need to buy yourself as much land as possible and live in the middle of it. Quit complaining when your neighbors sell their property as it is theirs to do with as they please. You were just a freeloader enjoying the country life on their dime.

REGARDING:
“Because Hwy 29 is the only north/ south evacuation route, there was a massive traffic jam trying to get on HWY 29 to go north to HWY 65 to go north to Montgomery, AL…we were trapped in that exodus and prayed that we would escape the oncoming Hurricane Opal…”

YEP. It was bad. 29 necked down to two-lane in McDavid. Pensacola drivers were going 70 mph when they got to us in the McDavid Volunteer Fire Department (at the time) and didn’t like to slow down. Since then Florida paid to four-lane through Alabama all the way to I-65. We should be in better shape now on that account anyhow.

David for I-110 going to I-65

So are the developer(s) of these areas the same developer(s) who pulled their “application” to develop the area? The one who had a massive 550+ unit area with medical office and park? The one that everybody was against so they pulled it as a whole? So now they will just develop it individually
