^… you are right about ‘setters’ … but they are handsome dogs…
That said, the best bird dog I ever had was a Brittany.
If we look at the property as other than $$ then there are several reasons to keep the land….
And ALL of them are valid…
And is not one primary purpose of Government (including State supported Universities) … TO DO those things that serve the people that business either chooses not to do or at which they fail ???
For example… is anyone in favor of closing our public parks and museums?

The ‘issue’ with the Dix property is that is was given in trust, in perpetuity, to the people of North Carolina for one singular purpose.
That should be simple enough. Until there is a statewide referendum and the results of that vote indicate that a majority of the citizens of North Carolina are in favor of changing the terms of the original contract AND, likewise, a majority of the heirs and assigns of the donor support the same… the State should keep it’s greedy hands off the property.
Same with the airport in Charlotte…. did the citizens of Charlotte vote and approve giving the airport that was built with their tax dollars away ?
