Well done. It cost them perhaps $25k per owner, and now they control their own fate. Their homes are referred to as "upscale", which is relative, but I'm sure that nobody that owns a single family dwelling of *any* value wants to see an 8-building apartment complex go up next to them. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

UMMM, If they were that concerned they wouldn't have bought a house that's built 5' from the house next door. | |||

| In the yahd, not too fah from the cah  |
Right? I feel like I would have bought the 8 acres for myself and built a house on it, getting me away from the rest of them. | |||

What I find sad is all of these rural farmlands being turned into subdivisions, Section 8 housing, strip malls, etc.... I've struggled with this for a long time. On the one hand, you can hardly blame the owners for selling for the often-times obscene amounts of money. On the other hand, I wish we still lived in a world where they didn't feel the need or desire to sell (be it kids taking over the farm or whatever). I grew up surrounded by farmland. Many an afternoon was spent hunting pheasants and huns and riding motorcycles and snowcats on those thousands of acres of land. Now? Subdivision after subdivision popped up like mushrooms seemingly overnight. It's sad to see...and ugly. I don't blame these folks one bit. Good for them. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I lived in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio in the late 90’s. Farmland all around when I moved there, and 3-4 years later when I moved, it was all sold and being built on. It was breathtaking how quickly it happened. I probably wouldn’t recognize it if I ever went back. I’m no farm girl, but I used to take my dog out for runs in those fields near where we lived. I can’t imagine how sad the locals were to see it all turn so quickly. My sis currently lives in Austin, she says it’s changing even faster. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

7.8 acres for $236k? wow, that's a great deal! I'm not in a big city and the 1 acre lot my wife and I are looking at is basically the same price. | |||

Well if there was less immigration, illegal or not, there would be less demand for land. Some of this is definitely due to Obama and his policies. -c1steve | |||

We call them designer ghetto's. People nowadays want a big big house to show off to their friends and don't want to maintain the exterior or have a lot of it to maintain, because maintaining lawn, landscaping, etc. takes constant money. So they buy a big house plopped on a lot that's 5' away from the neighboring houses on both sides and has a 20' deep backyard. | |||

More importantly, what are people supposed to eat? I hate seeing productive farmland turned into McMansions. Sure, the farmer wants to retire, maybe the kids don't want to farm, but at least try to find someone who will keep the land in production. | |||

If farmers were farmers , like they were in the early 60's, instead of planters, as most are now , I completely understand your perspective. Farmers used to have farms with corn,beans cows, chickens and pigs, hay fields and and 3/4 acre gardens. Farmers have been bitching about low grain prices, but ! almost none of them want to face the fact that they are growing more than the market is demanding. If they would zap themselves in too reality and worry about feeding 54 people , with the old type of farming , instead of hoping to make a billion dollars by just growing corn or beans , they would be as happy as the day is long. -------but that would be work Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.
