Golf course should be kept as open space

I was appalled to read about the lawsuit filed by Soundbuilt Homes and the owners of the North Shore Golf Course (TNT, 8-23).
I do not live on the golf course or even close to it. But I serve on the board of directors for Save-NETacoma. This isn’t about a lot of wealthy people whining; this is about open spaces, overcrowding of schools and the quality of life.
Why didn’t the owners of the golf course accept the other offers they received to keep land as a golf course?
They have reaped the benefits from this course for years, thanks to the community playing golf there. Now, when times are tough, they have decided the more money the better.
Shame on them. They should sell this property as a golf course and let it remain a golf course for everyone to enjoy for years to come.
