Castroville is an old Alsatian town that has remained quaint and friendly while other towns have lost their flavor. This project, if successful, will result in a loss of identity for this little village and the introduction of Walmart and Home Depot.

That's the same kind of thinking that has led Australia to deny some Aboriginal villages entry into the modern era with laws that protect their "lifestyle" instead of protecting the people themselves. They could live longer healthier lives like the rest of Australia if they could only have running water, electricity, and free trade. If Walmart and Home Depot are so bad why are they so successful? If I was this guy I would buy another piece of land adjacent to the town and put in a large Adult bookstore with a huge flashing neon sign or at least threaten to in order to get the healthclub project back on line.

A healthclub in a resendential neighborhood. Oh my... the horror!
