The Florida City of Cape Coral, a suburb of Fort Myers, decided it wants to build a $60 million dollar park. The only barrier is that there are families who have lived on the property for generations. So city officials showed up with a check and said, "Get out!"
Some of the people don't want to leave. According to a story from WINK television, one of these homes has a 103 year old grandmother who isn't interested in moving.
Nancy Wickston, who is a relative of the 103 year old woman, told WINK,
"There's five generations under the same roof and they're all on fixed income basically too." (Full Story Here)
The family is asking for fair market value from the city but feel they won't get it. What they would really like is to live out the rest of their lives in a home which has been in the family for decades.
A Conscious Conservative hopes that the citizens of Cape Coral will come to their senses and get rid of any city council members who are in favor of disrupting the life of a 103 year old grandmother and her family. They can find their contact information at the link below.
