I drive through there once a month or so, checking out the additional construction, just dumbfounded at the scale and how it does not fit the location.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Jim.James Rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203270946492159686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-30915051184077126242007-04-17T20:11:00.000-05:002007-04-17T20:11:00.000-05:00I took a trip out to Pabst Farms a few weeks ago, ...I took a trip out to Pabst Farms a few weeks ago, just to drive around and check the ambience of the Pabst Farms experience. It was a cold blustery early spring day. But the desolation would have been evident even in bright sunshine. <BR/><BR/>Huge expanses of absoutely flat, treeless acreage. There are three defined segments: the one now occupied by tract mansions (lots of them still for sale, a year after completion, and a few occupied ones up for sale, FSBO) is the relatively downscale part--oversize piles squeezed into smallish lots, three to an acre. <BR/><BR/>The big money, one is left to presume, is not yet flocking in. An entire section of half acre lots hasn't a single taker. <BR/><BR/>And, beyond that, the Land O' Megabux--1 acre lots--is waiting for the folks weary of the passe developments of the last century --tiresome and tacky places like Broadlands and Bristlecone Pines-- gauche tract mansions built around third-rate golf courses.<BR/><BR/>The lack of a dozen liquor licenses for a dozen upscale watering holes will become an excuse for the failure of this hallucinated land of upscale(why do I find that word so offensive?)residences in the middle of nowhere, next to the freeway.<BR/><BR/>We can only look forward to the day when Pabst Farms becomes, once again, farms.Jim Boumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211745461377043118noreply@blogger.com
