what is up with this constant building?  all of these new buildings, mostly office and fancy condos, are being built, but nobody moves into them.  then the builder builds more when they can't fill what is already built!!  this is retarded, and it is happening everywhere.  soon we will have no trees, just construction sites

Great ain't it.  I hope to be one of those contractors when I get out of school.  I don't know, might go into starter homes.

:thumbs:

I know what you mean though, there is a large unused Lowes here, along with several other unused properties....however there is a lot of new construction here too.  I don't know why the new Super Walmart couldn't use the old Lowes building, it is plenty big enough and smack dab in the middle of the new location and the old walmart location.

 

By the way any particular area up there this is happening?

It's just happening everywhere....there's no one way I can drive to get away from construction sites & big rigs hauling materials.  It's pretty crazy the way things are popping up.  I guess it's not just CA.

The thing that burns me is the way they always gobble up the best ground to build this crap on.  Its sickening the way they pour concrete over the best ground in the world just to build another damn Walmart when the old one was just find.  

 

Yet another reason I hate cities and everything associated with them.

I guess that came out wrong, yes, cities are needed, but it sure seems that lots of stupid people congregate in them.  This thread being a prime example, everyone is too stupid to utilize the land they already have developed and instead take more and more and more.  It seems as though they all hate green space and love looking at concrete.

true.  there are plenty of abandoned/dilapadated buildings that could be renovated or torn down instead of tearing up the undeveloped land that we are running out of

I like to see new buildings going up but only if they are houses, we are growing trees on our farm and we need the people to keep wanting trees so we can become rich rich I say (NOT) but use paper not plastic!!!!

Dittos JP....

 

I'm sick of all the development.  The "city" I live near has a population of around 27,000 and that's plenty big for me.  It still has a bit of small town hospitality with alot of good shopping, services and other activities and I live in a semi-rural area about 10 minutes away.  Luckily my father has a few nice-sized pieces of rural land where I can hunt, ride atvs and relax whenever I want.

 

One local spot near a deceased relative's home which was favorite hunting spot of mine as a teen is now a housing development with a golf-course being excavated.  Sad... :idontgetit:

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
