- I hate subdivisions
- Less water for everybody
- Subdivisions suck
- If I wanted to look out my window into someone else's window, I would move back to suburbia
- Burnett Ranch wasn't meant to turn into suburbia
- I like walking to my neighbor's house and it taking longer than 30 seconds
- I like wildlife
- I'd rather see deer, raccoons, rabbits and foxes, than concrete, driveways, roofs, cars, and bulldozers
- Enough is enough
- I lived in tract homes and didn't like it
- Trees are better than buildings and concrete
- I'm looking for a peaceful co-existence with neighbors and nature
- I am not looking for a peaceful co-existence with developers, businessmen and real estate profiteers that live somewhere else
- I clear cedar and own and live on the property I bought and want others to be able to experience that same joy
- I believe in clearing, working and living on your own land - a way of life nearly extinct
- Bulldozers destroy nature, they don't make it
- I'm sick of living elbow-to-elbow with commonly designed housing projects designed by some developer for his benefit
- I moved to Burnett Ranch to live different than the 99% of Americans - is that so wrong?
- I like nature
- I hate subdivisions, tract homes, "custom"-housing-that-looks-the-same and grieve the loss of the last bit of American frontierism which is still alive in Burnett Ranch
- People buying property to chop up into smaller units to sell most likely aren't planning on living here and planting a garden and becoming a good neighbor
- Light pollution from the concentration of homes blots out that pretty starry night I've gotten used to seeing
- I seriously dislike traffic
- Hays County already has water wells going dry. How much more water do you think is down there?
- A good thing is a good thing is a good thing. The style of living and the size of lots existing in Burnett Ranch provide a good thing. This good thing will erode away once we start allowing the further subdividing of the existing land into smaller and smaller suburban-style lots.
Lost in the "In-Between", a Midwestern Anglo-Saxon descendent searches for commonality and a sense of place in this post-modern, post-politically-correct, post-American dream, post-EVERYTHING Brave New World of a high-tech surveillance police state polarizing the ignorant masses into hypnotic apathy or zealous outrage as lobbyists and politicians trade away the remnant freedoms of America's citizens.
