[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was just curious, what are the people that live in areas that are potentially getting zoned OUT of river hill high doing right now?  I can't imagine the anxiety knowing that you could potentially lose that much money overnight.[/quote]

Panicking, evidently. And trying to find arguments against rezoning that aren't "But I might lose a lot of money!"[/quote]

It's a pretty valid argument nonetheless. The county's actions is seeing housing values drop by more than $100k. That's stiff change. I imagine lawsuits will be filed. [/quote]

As I live pretty close to the neighborhoods affected and know (acquaintances of acquaintances) several families affected, they are doing a couple of things.  First, they are consulting with attorneys to see if they have any grounds to have an injunction placed barring this from taking action.  They are also doing some crowd-sourcing on local neighborhood and FB groups to try and get out the locals in affected areas to attend at least one of the community forum meetings to protest the plan.  There is also a march planned to draw attention to the issue and also to drum up support for the protest at the community forum.  This is what I've seen so far in the last 2 weeks.[/quote]

Their efforts would be better spent learning the Charlie Brown. [/quote]
