This is the new view from Shadow Ridge Middle School's parking lot.
How long this view lasts depends on whether LISD and more residents sign leases. Keep this video in mind when Mr. Landman comes knocking at your door.

LISD knows better than to sign leases after the last set of the "drill next to schools" candidates got booted off. With the new round of people who see what is going up right now, that block of voting public just got larger.
The chain linked fence was going up today also. I watched them putting it up so the emergency exit road goes straight into the same road as the Shadow Ridge Traffic.
If there is a problem, who gets to use the road first? The students or the drillers?
Duh, drillers come first. In a sinking ship....drillers, then women and children.
New London school disaster....the sequel....and we learn nothing.
LISD and town can do simple math. Let's assume a Flower Mound home loses 30 k$ value due to loss of "nice neighborhood" status. In terms of tax income it means $428 less per home per year for LISD and $135 less per home for our town. I cannot say how many homes are affected but due to the very visible location of the Hilliard site I would guess it is in hundreds, maybe a thousand. Just because of this drill site LISD will get half a million less per year and city losses are also in six digits.
Watching this go up, I have lost respect for the Town Staff employees involved. The "paid employees-leaders" of Flower Mound staff need to go. They appear weak, always providing an exception for the drillers. For reasons that will probably remain unknown, Town "paid" staff have not put the people -(and children's) best interest first. In my opinion, it appears they are the ones "scared and afraid" of the drillers.
