And sadly one year later here we sit! Head bottlewasher looking pretty smug about the Water District chances of winning! What a complete waste of a year!

In the end, the Water District may indeed not be able to stop the development of the Sage Ranch land. The only question is, who will develop it? What the Water District might be able to do is delay it long enough that GRB is no longer capable of making it work. After all, according to their financials, they have a rather large current account deficit, and no cash. The clock is ticking. JMO

" The Water District objective is not to stop Sage Ranch. " I didn't say it was. But if the Water District wants the city to grow at a sustainable rate, that is exclusive of such a large development.

Well, where that block of land sits does make sense for development, but it is all about scale and timeline. Building 1000 homes in 6 years ony made sense when trying to calculate how much money GRB could make, it didn't make sense as for what the city actually needed. If it was developed over 20 years or so, it might work, just not for GRB shareholders.
