Someone please post the story from the Walton Sun, discussing the plans for a 25 Story Condo being planned in Walton County!!! They are trying attempting to build a condo taller than any other in Walton and Okaloosa Counties, according the article. Please contact every Walton County Commissioner today and tell them your thoughts on this disaster in the works.
(This is not a joke)

I read in the Walton Sun today, that Commissioner Pridgen, who owns a BayFront lot near the proposed 25 story project, states that he is in favor of establishing a height limit on NoWal property. Let's get this thing wrapped up people! Write those emails and make those phone calls, and don't give them any chance to go through with this or other high-rise projects in WalCo. Let them hear you with clarity.

We live in Blackcreek and we were just wondering what is so wrong with having this development here? What's the difference in having 300 homes in the same location.
How will this affect you?

What's the difference in having 300 homes in the same location.On that 55 acre parcel, they would never be allowed to develop half of it due to the wetlands. I'll tell you a few reasons what I think is wrong with it. One thing is that it would be out of character for the area. Also, if they were able to build vertically, you would see many other people beginning to submit their projects for similar high-rises and before you know it, densities would be so high that the infrastructure would have no way of supporting the numbers of people. Go look of the three very important words on the County Seal, and you will see another reason why this high rise proposal doesn't fit with the County's direction of the future.

Give Black Creek a few years and when you feel the impact of all of the low rise development about to happen in that area, and you will scrap your idea of how great a high rise would be, adding to more of the soon-to-be congestion. There is probably nothing wrong with high-rises, if you plan to sell your property and never to return to the madness. You could make good money on the land, and never have to see a damn thing.

But that's the definition for "Developer" in the dictionary

Imagine a beautiful pinkish purplish red sunset over the beautiful serene Choctawhatchcee Bay. Now imagine a big building sticking up right in the middle of it. That's how it will affect me. Ouch. Retinal scorcher. 
Not to even mention the affects on the 'protected' wetland areas.
How would it positively affect the Blackcreek area, Snerd ?
Would it bother you if the Choctawhatchee Bay ended up developed like bays in Panty Maw and Destin? Isn't that just what makes this area more unique?
