what jerks

shortbreadlover — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 23:45:44 GMT

the developers are these days. my neighbor got a call from one and they wanted to buy his house. he told them no. they then tried to tell him that they want to establish a presense in the neighborhood. he told them that well, just maybe the neighborbood doesn't want your presense here.

they don't want the homes, they just want the lots that are 1/2 acre lots so they can build 8 houses on each lot.

8 houses on 1/2 an acre?

I don't think 8 houses would fit on a half acre lot.

@shortbreadlover. Did the developer say he wanted to build 8 houses on 1/2 acre?

Hopefully the developers need a change in an ordinance or needs re-zoning.

Go protest it.

A developer can fit quite a few townhomes on a 1/2 acre.

Let me see. A developer asks to buy a home and is told no. How does that make him a jerk? Because a developer would like to have something, doesn't mean he's going to get it. We have several hundred acres of land and own the water and mineral rights. Developers ask all the time and we just say no. End of story.

You should hold out until you're the last one standing. Then tell them it's at least 5 million or bust.

He probably wants to build 8 attached townhouses on the half acre.

@shortbreadlover

You must live in Florida. I've never seen houses so close together. The closer you are to WDW, the smaller the lots get.

i am in salt lake city utah and this area is growing so fast. if there is an inch of land, they want to build on it.

they have developed all the farmland that they could. we used to be a big cit that had a small town feel but not anymore.

Where i live it used to be 7 homes to an acre. Now they can put up to 11 single family homes to an acre, more is some areas. They say 11 single homes, but remember they are 2800-3000 sq ft homes, taller than my old 2 story, with 5 ft of back yard and 5 ft in front. The cities approve them because they want the taxes and fees they get. They collect money for schools, police fire. The problem is by the time they go to build a school they don't have a third of the needed money. Then they go to taxpayers and ask for bonds to redo old schools. And bring in portables. Yes developers are greedy. I have seen them come into council promising and promoting their projects. As soon as they get approved they are back at council and planning commission,whining they need to squeeze a few more homes in because costs have been gone up, and oh, the fancy, eye appealing architecture they promised? Taken off into square heaps, because God knows they cant meet budget. And guess what???? City approves it usually. Developers know this. Weasels.
