The church had to do something with the land as development around the ranch was heading toward loss of many acres through eminent domain. Looks like they decided to develop it themselves. Smart move.

How would eminent domain affect the ranch. I would think the state and the people in the area would like a large undeveloped area around Orlando.Originally posted by kccougar View PostComment

When we joined PH's family and a couple of others for an Orlando visit two years ago, I was surprised how many (hundreds, and perhaps thousands) of cheap rental housing units were available. A lot of them were owned by Brits. We got a nearly new, well-furnished five-bedroom house for less than $100 a night, if I recall correctly. I'm pleased the Church is doing its part to keep down our rental costs next time my grandkids need to visit Harry Potter World.Comment

As if City Creek wasn't enough of a terrific idea, the church has somehow managed to top it by thinking about building a city for half a million people, 0 of which currently have plans to move there. The Chinese have considerable recent experience building vacant cities and that's turned out well for them.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

Note that Deseret Ranch is not a tax-exempt entity like the church proper. It pays taxes, including property taxes.Comment

Meh for me also. They already own the land. If they think development is a better use of the land, great. It doesn't bother me as much as city creek.Originally posted by Sullyute View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Should the government seize the property, wouldn't it be nice if they had to compensate the Church for a valuable commercial/residential property rather than a vacant lot/agricultural ground?Originally posted by RC Vikings View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

My cousin worked on the. Church ranch in Florida for some time. Drove from Idaho to Florida. If I was more proactive in Republican Party would not of minded being delegate to Republican Natinal Convention. Went there to discuss Religioin and no politics. Next trip politics no religion. I never did. Haven,t been to Florida since my mission.
The ranch was in my mission but I never served in the Cocoa area myself. Did some work in Kissimmee, that was as close as I got to ranch. Lake Wales was not too far from Ranch either. If I go back would be to do what I couldn,t do as Elder Vine. Seems like Real Estate would be better deal than all of it in ranching. My mp was rancher from Louisiana and Texas and was not impressed with the church ranch cattle.
It is not a welfare ranch but ran by the for profit corporation and they pay taxes required by Law. Thugh some welfare may come from them they sell to stores just like any other rancher does. I know of some people that thought the church had competitive edge when they asked missionaries to fix things rather than paying proffesional mechanic, plumber and like.
The profits from church. Owned businesses pay church operating expenses for some time and provide GA living allowances.Comment
