I don't trust those statements. Things change all the time. Unless it's a national park, and maybe even then, it just takes a vote of a random council or committee to change things.
On that same note, it just takes a vote to eliminate our historic district around our house. I hope it'll be around for my lifetime at a minimum, but it wouldn't shock me if some powerful developer eventually screws the district over.

There is an area in Plymouth, MN that is a golf course. Wont be for much longer. It has been sold to a developer. People are trying to stop it but I dont think they will have any luck.
I can think of three golf courses that are now gone. A friend is living on the 4th hole of one he used to golf. The one I work at still going strong. I am sure the city gets approached about it ALL THE TIME.
But our current mayor is a golfer and lives next to it. If it survives another 20 years it will be amazing.
