If they sold the land condos could be the end result, but the current real estate market may not be favorable for this sort of development.

I would bet equal money that were the Ames family to sell today, some rich guy, like Bahre, would buy all the land and build a lakeside chateau.

Or a developer would sell lots for Mcmansions.

The rich will always be rich.

And I am sure the complainants realized that could happen when they opened this can of worms; they would most likely prefer condos over the noise and traffic that happened on busy weekends at and near Ames.
