[QUOTE="stocky, post: 156740, member: 1150"] There have been alot of new housing developments going up around here in the last 10 years. About 15 miles from here they are turning a 1500 acre ranch into 1500 homes. I hate to see all this rural area grow up in houses. At the same time, I am adamantly against any government or any group of people, even neighbors, telling me or any other land owner who we can sell our land to or how many acres. It is beyond imagination, to me, that a group of neighbors think they should have the right to tell a farm owner that he cant sell his farm for 500,000 for houses, he has to take 100,000 to keep it a farm, just because they like the view or they like it better as a farm. If the neighbors like it better, let them pay whatever price the farmer could get for it and let them keep it in whatever condition they want. It infuriates me to no end for people who have no financial investment in something to try to tell other people what they can do with their property. I have bought land piece by piece, as I could afford it over the last 25 years and have no intention of ever selling an acre of it as long as I am alive, but that gives me no authority to tell someone else they cant sell to a developer if they want to.
