Aimosi no one in ttappanannocK County thought the county would be a better place to live if acreage in farms is decreased, and most people thought it would definitely be worse, (about 60 per cent). The owners recognized that the best conditions for working are not necessarily the best conditions for living. In response to an “imaginary condition,” most of the landowners agreed that locating a large industrial plant in the county would make Rappahannock a better place for work but would not improve living conditions. A new large subdivision in the county was regarded by most owners as making the county a worse place to live. As for the impact of that large subdivision on working conditions, those who responded “better” or “no change” equalled those who thought “worse.”
Only 29 percent of the residents feel “change events” would better the county and 60 percent felt it would worsen the county. The nonresidents, many of whom are acquainted with undesirable development elsewhere and look to Rappahannock as an unspoiled haven, are even more conservative in their reaction to change events. Herein lies a land use policy problem.
