something like that.

Also we're a pretty inclusive community all in all, it's been a long time since we had Helldump, and we tend to only mock people for their terrible posting, not for irrelevant crap.

Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks were in contract to buy the course for $1.8 million earlier this year and planned to turn it into a park.

That didn’t sit well with neighbors—including the Wallakes—in the nearby Villages of Westchester, a development of about 900 homes whose owners had paid premium prices to live near the course.

In fact, the Wallakes had just built a home near the 16th green.

“I was ready to walk away from my house,” Bryan Wallake said. “A lot of people were concerned about their property values. We were hearing they could drop by 20 percent.”

Why would a huge park next to your house lower property values compared to an inaccessible golf course?

I am genuinely surprised that you don't GET upper middle class sensibilities by now

Parks have POOR PEOPLE which means CRIME and EYESORES

The closer you are to a place where you can't be arrested for being poor, the lower your property values

Also it wouldn't actually affect property values at all and it's all code for "poor people and minorities might show up"

If you can buy the entire thing for $1.7M it is absolutely not an expensive private club and was a trash golf course on worthless land to begin with which makes this extra stupid.

Like the only place this could conceivably lower property values is if it were in one of the old people corrals out in the swamp in Florida, I can't imagine anyone who actually wants to live in a house (rather than die in a house) caring that much.

Also, if it was about value, either the houses are worth well above 10 million or shelling out 1.7 million is exceptionally dumb. It's about not having as public park because it surely will be overrun with "urban youths" in no time.

living next to a golf course is a good way to ensure that no one is gonna be within a mile of your house, except for age 50+ well-off white dudes bored enough to need an excuse to walk around drunk in the middle of the day. which is basically the only demographic that's acceptable to the kind of people who talk about suburban property values

parks, on the other hand, might play host to teenagers, homeless people, and people who can't afford a McMansion with a sizeable yard. people start dialing the cops if they see any of those groups within a fuckin mile of a golf course

The purpose of golf clubs is to justify private ownership of large swathes of land that would otherwise remain undeveloped in order to keep minorities away. It's actually purely a racial thing; whites do have an understanding that at one point their ancestors were poor, so they do have some empathy for poor white people as long as they're hard working and don't do crime.

e: After all, someone they trust has to man the gates.

Eh he's somewhat right that the rich have to trust SOMEONE to man the gates, so they make the myth of a hardworking trustworthy poor white. They won't help that class cos they'd lose the trusted servant but will performatively like perceived members of it. Of course, any empathy disappears when those persons get in any trouble because they obviously stopped working hard enough.

if you live in a normal person house then being next to a park would raise your property values, but if youre in a gated community for millionares then having a public park filled with POORS next to your house would lower it

the fact that changed is that the working class had gains that could be stolen. now there's nothing to steal via austerity so they want to turn on the money spigot for the invested class
