Big City High Rises Coming
BloodSpite was correct. There is a builder looking to build high-rise condos on the Beaver Lake. Seven 20-25 story condos in the Coose Hollow area, with a price range of $$100,000 to $1 million.
I suppose that kind of development is inevitable, land is getting scarce around the lake area. But I hate to see it happen. One of the best things about this area is that we have most of the conveniences of a big city without most of the headaches. (Though traffic is an increasing problem)
But then invariably everyone starts coming here because of that....which means explosive population growth. The end result will be just another big city.
I plan to enjoy it while it lasts, which I hope it will until we get ready to retire. Then we're going so far back into the hills I'll have to post by carrier pigeon.
Or at least by satellite link.
The only kind of overcrowding you have to worry about there is having too many coonhounds to fit under the porch.
