Comments on: New 36 Lot SubDivision Proposed For Beulah Road http://www.northescambia.com/2024/02/new-36-lot-subdivision-proposed-for-beulah-road Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 17:56:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Give me a break http://www.northescambia.com/2024/02/new-36-lot-subdivision-proposed-for-beulah-road/comment-page-1#comment-534430 Give me a break Wed, 21 Feb 2024 18:27:10 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=540134#comment-534430 The money has found us. The recent Wall Street Journal story on the explosion of million dollar homes in the area, along with the increase in median home prices, plus the mad race to develop means the horse is already out of the barn. Lots of old timers and lower income folks are going to be pushed out of the area--it's inevitable. Y'all didn't want zoning and reasonable land use statutes to try and control this--it was "it's muh property and I can do what I want!"; "If you don't want a Dollar General there, YOU should have bought the property!"; Now you want folks who struggle to pay taxes and maintain family acreages to hold onto them so YOUR quality of life isn't harmed. I don't want to get rid of the family land, but when this old $500/acre property is now worth $30,000/acre...that's a lot of extra zeroes. I have the right to sell to whom I please, and when the time is right for my family, I will. The money has found us.

Locate clear areas and build there instead!! Your taking away all the animals, deer, coyotes, and etc., places to live. I know what county commissiners are up to! The more taxes they can bring in the bigger their purses and wallets get filled!!! There are better thing to use the money for than building more housing!!! Time to vote out current county commissioners!! Bring in new brains!!! Instead of old brains!!! Listen, instead of stripping the land of all the trees and forest.
