George Lucas Exacts Revenge On Neighbors For Not Allowing Him To Build Production Studio In Backyard

[MummyChunk]

> George Lucas owns a big chunk of land in Marin County, California
and has been trying to build a 300,000-square foot, 350 employee
production studio on it for several decades. Unfortunately for him,
his rich neighbors and members of the homeowner's association have
been all, "Oh hell no -- you're not producing those turdy films
of yours in our backyard" and shut him down every time. Finally,
George has given up on his plan for the studio, and instead wants to
build a development of low-income housing on the land as a big ol'
F*** YOU to his neighbors.

> Despite the promise of bringing $300 million worth of economic
activity to the area, the already-well off neighbors are worried about
years' worth of construction activity and the additional foot traffic
it will bring into their neighborhood once completed.

> He wants to transform the property into low-income housing,
naturally, ending their official statement with this zinger, "If
everyone feels that housing is less impactful on the land, then we are
hoping that people who need it the most will benefit."

> He's working with the Marin Community Foundation to instead
construct affordable housing for either low-income families or seniors
living on small, fixed incomes. In order to smooth along the
development, he's already given them all of the pricey technical
studies and land surveys Lucasfilm spent years conducting.
