@JackCraver Not a fan of this item for many reasons, but if annexed and granted entitlements, it would not still be valued at $17M.
More like $300k-$1M per acre depending on what’s planned/supported by infrastructure investments. I think a fair, conservative est. is $5-6M rev undeveloped.

Crude oil has already jumped from $55 a barrel in December to $89 this morning.
All for a war of choice for which the administration has: shown no evidence of imminent attack, provided no consistent rationale, and explained no clear endgame.
@BThompson_CI It’s interesting to see the evolution from the initial concept meetings in late 2019?(could be wrong but I think it was pre-COVID. ) Given the amount of time and ppl involved I’m surprised it was only that much tbh, but I wish I was still at the table before the final draft…😬
