Closed Courses Affect Home Values

"In South Florida, where buildable land is fast disappearing, developers see golf courses as wasted space, the [New York] Times reported.

County Traffic Engineer Says Roads Can’t Support Another 4000-Home Development

County Engineer George Webb told the Palm Beach Post on June 26:
"We only have so many thoroughfares...I’m not sure there’s room for more." Webb was talking about the traffic study for G.L. Homes Indian Trails Grove tract.

Minto's project met huge opposition from surrounding communities, but the county approved it anyway for 4,500 homes and 2.1 million square feet of commercial development including a hotel and a college campus. Citizens are exploring legal challenges.

TRAFFIC DENSITY CHANGES THINGS

SW Palm Beach County Rural Life Losing Ground

"If county commissioners ultimately approve G.L. Homes’ plan, southwestern Palm Beach County would continue to transform from farmland and large, undeveloped tracts to an area dotted with high-end, densely populated subdivisions."
