OK.. if you buy into a residential zone and Walmart comes in and wants to re-zone then I can buy that you have a right to fight that. No, I would not want one 1/2 mile away, but I love having one 5 miles away.

That's right. This was right across the through fare from our neighborhood. Walmart wanted to have the land rezoned before purchasing. Something very few folks have the money or time to do. They had a twelve seat panel representation at every Council meeting for years. We would show up in matching t-shirts.

Walmart ended up building a much need Super Center in the small town of Deland just north of here. Hundreds of new jobs and all that.

Yes, 5 miles is close enough for me too. Great prices on ammo and fishing equipment!
