Florida Georgia Line Singer’s Plan to Build 500 ‘Affordable’ Tiny Homes on Protected Wetlands Has Local Residents Seeing Red
Angry local resident Linda Thompson, 58, took to the community Facebook group “Riverbend Neighbors United” to vent her frustration after the band announced their development deal. “Common sense would tell you that you don’t build houses on a floodplain that turns into a swamp every March,” she wrote. “But I guess when you’ve got ‘Cruise’ money, you can just pave over nature and call it ‘eco-friendly luxury.’” The post, which includes a screenshot of the artist’s rendering showing rows of dollhouse-sized homes nestled between cypress knees, has already been shared 23,000 times. “We don’t need more cookie-cutter starter homes that’ll wash away in the first hurricane,” Linda added, “we need to stop filling in every patch of green for a quick buck. Y’all come fix this mess.”
