There is plenty of available land out there for planned communities and lots of open spaces that will have less of an affect on local wildlife than the Hammer Flats development. But alas, they won’t have the view, hence the profit, the seemingly ambiguous motivation around most of Idaho’s current development and growth.

They work FOR the developers NOT the citizens. You need to understand that they are against you even before you start. Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news.
