That area is not undeveloped, there is some kinda of old warehouse back there, with an abandoned guard shack and gate.

The awful thing was the amount of plastic WM bags that littered this beautiful natural setting. There were 100s of them and not just by the curb but 20-30 feet or more into the woods, stuck in trees, too. I checked Google Maps and did a street view search and you can see the mess ( those maps are a little outdated) . What I saw yesterday was a disgrace. I don't even live the Hardberger Park area, but now I can see why people don't want it there. Who wants tons of litter/trash in their neighborhood?
Might be the handiwork of //www.city-data.com/forum/san-a...ive-ditch.html.

Wal-Mart options fail to satisfy - San Antonio Express-News

Quote:
Chan asked her constituents to weigh two options: One plan calls for a 165,000-square-foot Supercenter that would operate between 6 a.m. and midnight; the second, smaller option would allow a 150,000-square-foot Supercenter to operate 24 hours a day.

Absent was an option to follow through with a rezoning of the property that Chan had initiated in February.

Most baffling is that city council and the mayor knew that Wal-Mart and other huge stores have been coming for years with no plans to slow down, yet the city hasn't adopted a policy perhaps banning stores above a certain size in residential neighborhoods or away from a highway. I don't mind Wal-Mart, but I don't want them in a neighborhood, any neighborhood.
