I live in an area which has transitioned from rural to partially rural. My town devotes a major portion of tax revenue to education, and that possibly has driven the high end developments built to attract a high end clientele: newer homes around me are selling for seven digit sums. And we have easy access to the Route 95, the bay, and the ocean.
Were I to sell my property I’m certain my little cape would be torn down, the land cleared, and three large residences with manicured landscaping would appear. Conversely, although we are zoned F2 (farming, two acre minimum lot), developers have been increasingly using the State’s ‘affordable units’ mandates to build multi family complexes which can be fast tracked through housing authorities.
I’ll keep what I can for now and hope for time to stand still in my feral woodland. As I’m sure you do at home, I love to immerse myself when I can in the sounds and sights that Nature provides.
