Bastrop County better up its game or we’ll LITERALLY be run over by this type of ‘in your face’ bullying by developers. Previously, Double Eagle and the change from 1-2 acre density to 6 to the acre. Today, Elon Musk.
Commercial, industrial, and large residential developers need to be required to provide traffic studies, sewerage studies, and environmental studies BEFORE they put any shovel in the ground.
I get that Texans want to be able to use their land as they’d like, but once they sell to money-hungry developers, it’s no longer theirs and they don’t have to worry about what happens to their neighbors.
How would you like your water source polluted by unapproved sewerage disposal uphill from you on your neighbor’s property? Can you afford that fight? Can the taxpayers of Bastrop County?
It’s beyond time for legislation to protect CURRENT property owners from developers whose only goal is economic enrichment.
