My shooting range is gone, baby gone.
Elon Musk is building his Mars launch facility down here at Boca Chica Beach. His has bought up the available land there and has plans for a new town down there called Star City. Mid-price houses in my community have doubled in price due to the expected new population growth.
Our range is about seven miles from Boca Chica Beach had up against the Rio Grande River. Musk bought the 25 acer property for a staggering sum from my friend the owned. He plans to build homes and condos there. I have had a very good 13 years shooting with my friends down there, but I am glad to see my friend Larry make a killing on it and be set for life.
Elon Musk is really screwing with my world. There will be more change than I can imagine and many folks will get rich in the process. This sleepy border town "on the Border by the Sea" will never be the same. This will also present new opportunities to do business by the Cartel vultures.
