If my home once had a view of the clubhouse that was torn down, And now get to look at a multi story apartments. I would not be happy, and would hope the voices of the residents that is affected at least can be heard. We backed out a sale of a home due to the change of view on this golf course.

I also understand those who aren’t being affected, don’t have a problem with the new build, after all it’s not their back yard.
But 5 years from now The golf course failed, You live on, and commercial or apartments were built in your back yard. You might feel different.

Those who bought on undeveloped property knew the risk of anything could be built there, and that has happened more than once. Warnings have always been don’t buy the house that backs up to the cow pasture, tomorrow it could be a target.

But no one ever warned you hey the back of Glenview is absolutely beautiful, but years from now it could be apartments
