"My dad was a member here, and my grandpa too" some guy says. "I can't let them do this to our beloved golf course".

So, would you be okay with the city cutting off their water supply so the grass dies? If they won't let us build a road, there is no reason to let them profit from our existing infrastructure.

Uhh, I think this actually did happen to Canyon Meadows and the City just expropriates the land. They had to do a bunch of golf hole renovations (not sure at who's cost) to accomodate future Anderson/14th Street expansion.
