I don’t care if they waited 100 years for Pecue to be completed.

Their suit is trying to undo the will of the people because they can’t have it their way.

bullshite move and F them.

I agree. A horrible strategy from a PR standpoint. They would do better just saying the rezone is arbitrary.

St George has proved over and over they don’t back away from a fight or threats. It was born in a crucible of fire and brimstone. I think the Klienpeter lawyers are viewing St George the same as how BR usually works. And they are wrong.

A protracted legal fight is going to generate bad publicity for years. Not good unless the kids and grandkid owners DGAF.

So BR has the common sense to shutdown or decline bad developments that negatively impact the area.... Wish St. Tammany could pull that off.

alid. I definitely didn’t consider all of the car dealerships.


In La. sales taxes are paid to the city and parish the car buyer resides or the business is HQed. There are a lot of roofs in St. George snd most of them are car buyers.

The once quiet adjacent subdivision is now having to deal with a tremendous amount of cut through traffic. Not to mention a few of the adjacent houses flooded in 2021


We sold our home in Woodridge in October 2025 for just this reason. Our home didn’t flood in ‘21 but several of our neighbors did. Once the development of interchange started several years ago the drainage problems increased. This will certainly only get worse going forward no matter what the surrounding development entails.

I agree - this part of it was a bizarre choice. It got them headlines but other than that…what is the purpose?

They already took a big hit when land was taken for the Pecue interchange.

Now St George is rezoning the small piece that should have gained value from the interchange because people who bought houses next to a 50 acre commercial tract don’t want to live next to commercial.

We’d all be pissed if the city devalued our property like that.

I heard they were considering moving their 58 acres somewhere off of Acadian.

Cities develop and rezone all the time to accommodate the changing nature of the area and/or new priorities/learned lessons Because something was originally zoned one thing back when Clinton was president, the city can't change course prior to development? Can't learn from the shitty city planning that everyone curses every rush hour or a missive city wide flood in 2016?


Then why did every other plot of land with the same designation as this one get a higher grade/zone?

I’m still not convinced they actually own that entire piece of property

Believe me- they do not have millions, much less 100s of millions. You must be jealous


The Kleinpeter family doesn’t have millions of dollars?

They owned half of Baton Rouge.

Why don’t you just tell us what law was broken.

The reality is developers change their plans all the time to squeeze an extra buck to the detriment of the city. Why do you think they have apartments in their plan? It’s the easiest way to make money. Now they are mad the city changed their plans. Boo hoo.

DOTD/BR lowballed them on the eminent domain exchange for the land the Pecue interchange was built on.

If there were no exit what would the value of their property be?

They offered less than market value without the interchange.

Their argument was the same as yours - the value of the remaining land adjacent to the interchange.

Then StG rezoned and devalued the remaining land.

I’m sure there’s more to it, but give me the people over the government in a land dispute.

Agreed - St Tammany development is lead by DSLD and Stirling, cheap housing and strip malls, it’s embarrassing.
