why would you do this?

those houses didn't pay for a premium view, lol. if any homeowner bought without somehow noticing that the plans for the development included a shopping center along the lake from the very beginning, that's on their own stupidity

This is a great example of people would complain regardless

[analog knoll]

oh, I could absolutely see residents complaining about this when it was always in the development plan for this phase. people think buying one house entitles them to ownership over all the land they can see

[ancient silo]

Yeah kind of funny how people buy a house in a location and then expect NOTHING to change unless they like it. Um... not really how it works haha

[analog knoll]

in this case it's especially egregious though since presumably the development plans included this shopping center at least from the time they were selling lots

ah yes I'm sure there's tons of violent crime in the sleepy rural communities of Johnson's Creek, just waiting for the Williams Sonoma to open

Let's not bring this into CWC please, thank you
