Lion Country Safari’s WILD Housing Market

The Animals Make Way For New Inhabitants

The Palm Beach County Commission approved a change in land designation (prompted by LCS, Lion Country Safari officials), that would essentially allow for residential homes (254 to be exact) to be built on 637 acres in Loxahatchee, FL.

Economic Woes Fuel Need For Zoning Variance

According to LCS officials, income derived from the attraction is not what it used to be and there is a desperate need  to diversify income sources.  The deal would restrict homes to areas that don’t currently house animals.

A 180 From The Urban Sprawl Dilemma

Look how far we have come!  It used to be that nature and wildlife conservationists would boycott developers till the death over wanting to save the environment and the need for “wide open spaces”.  Now, it seems as if the tides have shifted and those who once fought for green space are just now figuring out, that economically, that approach can be quite challenging.  If anything, it brings to the forefront that there is something to be said for both viewpoints.

Care to share?  We welcome all comments, within reason of course (LOL).
