George Lucas does something I don't have to hate him for
drventure:
I dunno, but 300,000 acres is an awfully big slice of land. I'd be surprised if the neighbors would even be able to SEE whatever studio he was planning to build from their own lots, that is unless he planned on building it right on the edge of his property, right up against his neighbors.
I'm also really surprised that, given that size of acreage, there's any kind of zoning in place at all. Usually at that scale, you're talking farm or ranch land, which tends to be just about anything goes.
But, he's in California right? That'd explain it ;)
CheffoJeffo:
I think shmokes misquoted the size of the property, although it is called Lucas Valley, so maybe is that big.

the article stated
"According to the San Francisco Chronicle, for four decades Lucas has owned a large swath of land in Marin County in the North San Francisco Bay and has spent the past few years trying to transform the ranch on it into a massive, nearly 300,000 square foot, state-of-the-art movie studio."
That awkward moment when you realize an acre is slightly bigger than a square foot?
drventure:
Yeah, just checked wikipedia. The ranch itself is about 4700 acres. Big, definitely, but not 300,000 acres...
shmokes:
Lol . . . 300,000 acres would be a fairly large piece of real estate.
