thedailywhat: George Lucas Strikes Back of the Day: Star Wars creator George Lucas has been trying for years to convert a large parcel of land in Marin County, California into a 300,000 square foot movie studio, with amenities including a day care center, restaurants, a gym and a parking garage, only to be shot down by his wealthy neighbors. Because the local homeowners’ association has refused to let Lucas move forward with the studio, he’s decided to put the land to good use by transforming it into low-income housing, simultaneously doing a good deed and trolling his fellow landowners. “If everyone feels that housing is less impactful on the land, then we are hoping that people who need it the most will benefit,” Lucas snarked. He’s even donating the various studies and surveys he paid for while working on the movie studio project, to help the new housing development get underway more quickly. That might be almost enough to outweigh creating Jar Jar Binks. [movies.] Ah, my hometown politics and shenanigans :-) Such a long history. He’s actually done some really nice things in San Anselmo lately that I don’t think have been widely publicized.
