Why should they? They're not obligated to sacrifice their quality of life so the area can develop to your liking. If I were them I wpuld do everything in my power to keep from being overrun with shittastic subdivisions.
Everybody hates on NIMBY's but it's the most rational of decisions to act in one's own self interest.

You might want to look up what perpendicular means.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
CONTACT: John Kramer; Lisa Knepper
(703) 682-9320
October 4, 2006
Arlington, Va.—On Saturday, September 30, Louisianans voted into law Constitutional Amendment 5, providing home and business owners across the state with increased protection against eminent domain abuse by prohibiting local governments from condemning private property merely to generate taxes or jobs. Also, the amendment ensures that the State’s blight laws can only be applied for the removal of a genuine threat to public health and safety caused by a particular property.
“We applaud the people of Louisiana for protecting their property from tax-hungry officials and land-hungry developers,” said Institute for Justice Senior Attorney Scott Bullock, who has argued against eminent domain abuse before the U.S. Supreme Court. “There is no doubt the rebuilding of New Orleans is on everybody’s mind and this amendment strikes the right balance. The government can take property that actually endangers public health and safety but is prohibited from seizing ordinary homes and businesses for grand planning schemes that would involve the wholesale transfer of property to private developers.”
The amendment does not address the power of municipalities to use eminent domain for the benefit of industrial parks as that is specifically permitted in another provision of the Louisiana Constitution. However, it does provide that a person’s home cannot be taken for an industrial park or even for a public port facility.
“The people of Louisiana understand that eminent domain abuse is wrong,” said IJ Senior Attorney Bert Gall. “The passage of this Amendment is part of a national backlash against the outrageous Kelo decision.”
Last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Kelo v. City of New London that local governments may take private property merely for economic development, adding that states are free to provide stronger protections for property owners. Numerous polls conducted in the wake of Kelo show that Americans overwhelmingly oppose eminent domain abuse and, since Kelo, 31 states have enacted eminent domain reform.
Louisiana is the first state to vote on a post-Kelo constitutional amendment to restrict eminent domain abuse. Passing 55 percent to 45 percent, the amendment goes into effect 20 days after the Governor offers a formal proclamation, which is expected in the coming days.

hay fricktard, why don't you STFU concerning things you know nothing about. Land Owners pay the property taxes. Its theirs. They can do what they want with it. You want a loop, pay me my asking price and I'll sell you some land. Ohtherwise, frick off. WBR and PC are primarily ag communities. You know why? Cause we have lots of farmland. Go live in Atlanta if you desire a better traffic grid.

yeah, like shitty BR? We're happy with what we've got. Don't really want your metro model and all the shite it brings on our end.
Plus we cruise right on over to either side of the river with our pretty new bridge. Shame you fricking idiots in BR couldn't agree on where to put it. Its a lovely bridge.

The wreckers can drive east on the westbound lanes from West BR to get to them...

Woah now. Ima need you to take your logic and reasoning

Broome only wanna use EBR wreckers from NBR baw. And taking the old bridge to approach from west would make sense.
Which is why it took two hours.
Also they would be cutting out helicopter companies that are owned by NBR residents

It’s for sale for ridiculous prices they know nobody will pay for.
Ever heard of a master planned community? If they plan accordingly, it could be nice. I don’t know why you people are so against a place growing for the better? You want things to just stay fricked up and shitty forever?
