Would be interesting to watch people try to navigate that.




People would lose their minds. I see multiple wrecks from people coming from the interstate on to that Divergent traffic lane without stopping, which would cause I10 to grind to a halt.

It will be comical indeed.

it's a 30 minute trip to go to that terrible albertson


Are you running there? It takes literally 5 minutes to get to that albertsons. It takes about 7-8 minutes to get to Calandro's.

And yes, there is an Alexander's too, which may take 10 minutes to get to.

If my house backed up to the field, then i'd feel differently about all this, and i almost bought a house that did back up to the field b/c the yards were bigger.


So you see my frustration.

Think of the positives, you would have a front row seat to the mass confusion and daily car accidents. Fun for the whole family!!!


Edit: I don't live far from you. Kensington Estates.

It's 5 minutes at 2 oclock. It's 10 minutes from 4-6. 10 minutes to get there, 10 minutes to shop and check out, 10 minutes to get home = 30 minutes. I did it yesterday. Went n the store for 1 thing. Left the house at 4:52, got back at 5:20

i do, but i'm sure all the people that lived on Staring or Perkins weren't happy about giving up there front yards a few years ago.
There was always a chance something was going to happen to that field, you knew this when you bought the house. I did too, which was another reason why i didn't buy the house that had the backyard opening up to the field.

Well there's your problem.

What are you expecting? That is relatively fast. To do much better you'd have to live in the grocery store.

That is relatively fast when you live in the suburbs, not the city.

Going to the CVS is fast. There should be a gas station there as well. I will be satisfied when they finally finish the Rouses they are just getting starting on in Long Farm.

This.


You want a 10 minute total trip, you should have lived in Capital Heights, where you could walk to Calandros and avoid traffic. It takes longer to get places when you live in the suburbs and have to get in your car for every trip.
