Appropriate to have this. As expensive as housing around here is I figure only the well healed can afford it. They shouldn’t be driving too much or overcrowding the schools.

Most of the well healed worked hard for their money.

"Soon only the very hard working & well healed will be the only ones who can afford to live in Fairhope"

True statement, and absolutely nothing wrong with that. Our capitalist system allows for folks to work hard, save their money, and someday live in a charming town like Fairhope. It's good to have something to aspire to. Many of us have done that.

If you've driven down Volanta, you'll notice the trees are all cleared. Very sad. This is becoming an asphalt jungle. Yes, it's an old folks home, but you'll have lots of attendants and service personnel. I wonder where the exit points will be and imagine the additional traffic impacts to Greeno and Volanta. Oh well......

So who do we close the door on? Who will be the last person allowed to live in Fairhope? Or maybe we could cap how many are allowed and to be fair a ten year limit and then you leave to make room for another. We can go from the Single Tax Colony to the Revolving Door Colony.

This has to be a tongue in cheek comment? Maybe we should subdivide 1/4 parcels and put more homes on them? If we could be selective, I do like the ten year limit idea. Maybe you've reached yours?

Why didn't they leave a natural wooded buffer zone facing Volanta and Greeno? Would have made the whole thing more aesthetically pleasing. Traffic issues need to be addressed NOW. The old folks are going to have heart attacks when the cannon fires at football games.

Great idea. If we're are at capacity for electricity, water and sewer, what will become of us when Aldi and these apartments and the med Center and all the other building is done?

We love Fairhope and visit as often as possible. We are retired and live in Louisiana to be near our family which is important to us. Although I also believe if you work hard and save for a nice retirement then you are deserving to live the life you enjoy...but this blog site gave me a new, eye opening perspective on what I thought was a little slice of heaven in Alabama. Reread some of the comments and maybe you won't need to worry about an increase in population.
