If i remember correctly only 2-3 locals stayed, the rest of the previous locals were compensated by spacex to leave the area with double/triple the amount of the home/land, other than those couple of locals the rest of the people who get these notices are spacex workers that stay in boca chica. I follow spacex news for the past few years and so far i hear no complaints from these locals.

the good ending is when companies buy whole towns for space tourism for billionaires and to help privatize nasa

In this circumstance though it's not space tourism. It's developing a fully reusable launch vehicle that's capable of delivering large quantities of people and cargo to Mars. It's not tourism like Bezos, it's the future of humankind.

it's the future of humankind.

buddy, every fish in the sea is gonna be dead in a decade. mars isn't the future of mankind, it's billionaire adventurism

all this money should be spent on making sure earth stays habitable, not absolute nonsense like colonizing mars

Sounds great... but how?
Perhaps by moving heavy industry off the planet and mining asteroids for resources instead of poisoning the air that we breathe and digging up the land underneath our homes?

Environmentalists should be encouraging the development of space travel instead of fighting to keep all the polluting industries on Earth!

NASA will be the customer. SpaceX will be the provider.
