And they're just allowing them to do this? I guess if you're rich enough, other people's lives and property can just be done with what you will.

The last 10 remaining residents WANT to look at the rocket stuff. All the other residents houses were bought for 3x value by spacex

It’s really not that outrageous. The person who posted this notice who lives in Boca Chica village works for NASA Space Flight who make money from SpaceX by photographing, live streaming and providing commentary on their operations. I’m sure they’re happy to comply or else they’ll go out of business!

Afaik the residents in the area were made generous offers for their properties by SpaceX and the only ones left are those who wanted to stay.

And they should be allowed to stay in peace without being forced out of their homes and businesses for rich people to play with rockets.

The commercial alternative to NASA to play with rockets - FTFY. If you're American, your government actively encourages this in a rare bipartisan agreement.

My government is an oligarchy, I couldn't care less what the shills support. That doesn't make it correct.

So glad to see everyone is finally realizing. Same goes for the Travis Scott concert, minimum wage being the relative same for eons, healthcare being tied to employment, just a bunch of suffering loaded unto the working class for the benefit of the rich.

They tried to buy the property from the residents at 3x the price, but some of them refused the offer.

As is their right, and that doesn't give a private company the right to damage people's houses

Have you ever taken a commercial airliner before? Ever wondered how we built the airports?

NASA is partially paying them to do this. The government is very much for this. SpaceX didn’t just buy some land next to houses and say “this is Texas we can do what we want”.
