Blackwater Resorts Gets Growth Allocation

Short-sighted horsepatoot. When the bald eagles, our national symbol, start dying off again, we’ll know who to thank. What a deal…dead national symbols in exchange for more traffic and more of the same ole low-payin’ dead-end jobs for the locals who’ll still be living in run-down places, just pushed further out so’s they can spend more on transportation.

With this kind of vision, it’ll be best if folks movin’ in are blind, too.

Ain’t these folks ever heard the expression “less is more”? Remember how the developers and their attorneys said if they made it smaller, they’d have to give up the open spaces and the golf courses (while keeping all the development)?

That shoulda been folks first clue.

I was curious about a timetable for this project, and according to a story in the Washington Post, it is a twenty year schedule to fully develop the area. So my math tells me that they would have to build and sell 3 houses per week for the next twenty years in order for this to meet its full effect. This is to move to Cambridge, and as I commented before, Cambridge is a heckuva commute.

Personally, I’d be stunned if they add 150 homes a year out there. I think the fears of the anti-development people are rather unfounded. The project reminds me a bit of Captains Cove out in Virginia.
