High rise condos coming to SoWal

[FoX]

I've heard that the new county commissioners are pro-development, and they will abolish the 50-foot height limit in SoWal. Supposedly there are over 2 dozen projects already drawn up that are waiting to be approved once the code is changed.

Anyone think this will happen or if it's a good idea?

Bad Idea, and who knows if it will happen.

I'm seliing and moving on as soon as that happens.

To a place that has fewer property rights?

I guess we could always pull an Edward Abbey if they started building them.

(Edward Abbey is a crazy author, who wrote fabulous tales against the evils of development and the cancerous growth of "civilization.")

So we could write fabulous tales?

Is there a height limit on the North shore of the bay?

I believe the limit is 4 stories. There are also density limits, no more than 4 units per acre if both city water and sewer are available. Right now where I am, we have water but are on septic, so the density is only 3/acre, but Freeport will be bringing sewer to the north end of the bridge within 2 years. I think that any high-rise thoughts for the north side of the bay would be way off in the future.

I bet you would be surprised.
