Peace & quiet come at a price. A few more things getting taxed to reduce mine. VFD needs volunteers & money.Cool. I wasn’t familiar with it. Fairly new lake I see. Hopefully the developers won’t ruin your coolness.
I hope you donate. We sure did when we were in Scurry. If I could afford it after a decent check, I’d drop off a C-note.Peace & quiet come at a price. A few more things getting taxed to reduce mine. VFD needs volunteers & money.

Yep.It is happening here - about 15 miles out of Abilene. I stumbled across a deal on the house and, when I finally got the renter out, I moved in. Small town, small local businesses, and mostly decent folks.
Now, the Economic Development Corp of the city has a "vision of the town as a bedroom community for Abilene" - which does not include many of the folks already living here. There are 170 plus homes ($300K plus) slated to be built in two subdivisions here.
Now there is a bloody winebar with charcuterie (?), a coffee house, and they are pushing for the sale of mixed drinks "to bring more restaurants in". They are spending $14 million to build a "sports complex" (not to mention over $200k a year to maintain it) to bring in more "sports" business.
Anyone that points out the drawbacks - especially the holes in their logic about how much money their favorite projects will bring in to the city - is accused of NIMBY, anti-growth, etc. They want the benefits of growth but they refuse to see the negative effects - such as the fact that kids growing up here today will not be able to afford a place to raise their kids here one day!
Most of the transplants to Texas are self-indulgent POS's. I just laugh when they move here and say they are here to help us out!Ya we are getting screwed big time. 90% of people moving here not from here are pieces of shit. They can justify running people out of their homes and state however they want to try and sleep better at night. They are still pieces of shit.
