Here is an issue and take this into consideration. A local town can fight developers only so much without bankrupting the town. Also, near where I live, if you have a farm you cannot afford to run it or pay the taxes on it or you cannot pay the death tax on it you sell it for a good price and retire. At what point do you tell the rightful owner what they can and can't do with their land?

I understand that and everything else you wrote.
Monticello, GA....those good ol’ boys have told everyone to F**K OFF.
And, no, you can’t tell the property/farm owner what to do with their land. No way. But, you can tell the developer that every home has to have 2 acres. We are not allowing high density, houses stacked on top of one another...200 homes on 50 acres of land...NOPE.
Where I’m living, I’d say that almost over bit of construction I’m seeing is townhomes or small homes on very small lots. And I grew up in a house that was on a 40’x100’ lot. And these are smaller than that. And, they’re asking $300k or more.
