Cathrine, I have no beef with you and am certainly not a Russell fan, but your animosity toward all things Russell appears to me to be borderline pathological IMHO. This thread in particular. How can you hold it against a property owner for seeking the highest and best use of their property. These friends of yours have been renting property for decades. Prime real estate I will point out too. Why would they now, as I gather from the tone of your post, be surprised, shocked, or dismayed that the owner is now ready to do something different with his property? These renters have had decades to do something different with their time and treasure in order to obtain a piece of deeded property elsewhere. Do they feel entitled to rent this property forever? If so, why?
You are not the first to exhibit this sentiment. Another, some would say prominent, local citizen was very vocal in the past when their place was converted some years back. They were displaced from their 'family place' that they had the privilege of occupying for years. In the meantime property values sky rocketed and they couldn't afford to have a lake place any longer. How is this Russell's fault? They have received excellent benefit for their rent dollars for many years. Now the party is over. Pack up and go home.
If I am missing something please enlighten me. Personally, I am baffled by folks that build on APCO lease lots. Who is going to come out on top in the long run? They own the property and as many politicians as money can buy, which seems to be about all of them.
On another note, I would love to see a bridge from Pleasure Point across to the south side of Hog Pen Slough. I think it would be of great benefit to the entire lake community.
