I received an email from a friend yesterday. He referred to the new development on Liberty Grove. He called the houses to be built in the new subdivision as "Archie Bunker" homes. I thought that was hilarious. It is an accurate description. The designs are reminiscent of older neighborhoods in the north. From a nostalgia point of view, that's kinda cool. To others, they spent their whole life trying to get a little land with their little cottage. I am glad we have that option available for the potential purchasers that like to be reminiscent. However, what do we have for the potential purchasers that don't want to live in a "Archie Bunker" neighborhood? Well, at the present time, not much. We have two nearly built out subdivisions that can be a little hard to get to.
Once again, today the Dallas Morning News had an article on the new facility to create 5,000 new jobs, and to be built by Liberty Mutual Insurance, located across the street from Toyota, and down the road from the State Farm facility, and other new job opportunities. You remember, don't cha?...........about 20,000 new jobs located 15-25 minutes of non-stop driving from Rowlett. If you don't remember, it is reasonable to assume you can't read. It has been reported by DMN for months...years. You probably can't hear, either. The new jobs have been announced on TV news programs for the same amount of time.
However, don't feel badly. Our P&Z and City Council can't see or read, either. They have been hammered with information that says they have North Shore zoned incorrectly, but they just seem to drift along, blissfully unaware. Ignorance is bliss.......or that is the previously inserted dogma of our previous city manager, during a previous bout of lunacy. It's time to fix it. It's time to take a pill. I admire people that fix problems......not create them.
There could be a slight problem. I haven't heard of any major home builders/developers standing in line to get to Rowlett. Do you think they might know something about the two prominent developers and homebuilder that we turned down? Do you think Rowlett is considered too much trouble than it's worth? Naw.....no chance.
By the way, our "Archie Bunker" subdivision is running months behind schedule. If I was the builder waiting on the lots, I would begin to get a little surly soon. Of course, he would say, "It's been raining." That is true, however Rowlett isn't the only place it has been raining. Miraculously, land development projects in other areas I am familiar with seem to be progressing with only modest interruptions of productivity.
Arg!!!!
