RE:RE:Pumping and bashingshneps wrote: Tyler, you seem to be missing the fact that the City approving the PDP is not a significant milestone in Sage's approval. As long as the engineering and architectural aspects conform to the previously approved Master Development and meet the City's guidelines it is a done deal. "The company will now complete its concurrent effort to: a) Execute the Master Agreement with our General Contractor; b) obtain our sales approval from the California Department of Real Estate to accept non-refundable deposits, and; c) filing of our Precise Development Plan and all other permits to start construction. The Company wants shareholders to know these next steps are perfunctory in nature, meaning their approval is granted on following defined regulations and statutes. There is no more subjective or political hold-back. You follow the rules and the permits are issued." - August 17th 2021 GRB NR
"The Sage Ranch Project is anticipated to complete the environmental review, mapping and city approval process by summer 2019, with the first phase of development to follow soon after."
That was the project timeline from FOUR YEARS AGO.
That is not from the City being short staffed over the past few months.
Shneps, in 2020 there was the announcement of a new city planner:

Applications were accepted until June 21, 2023. Links aren't available anymore but this image shows Google's cache for some of them:

investors tend to look forward. Not backward.
Four years ago, the median home price in California was around $550,000. Now it's close to $800,000.
