Controversial new housing

Anyone ever dealt with negative Facebook post? We are building small homes in a economically challenging area. I posted on my business Facebook page about our property for sale. Someone shared that post to a local group that contains 40,000 people about 75 percent of the comments are positive and say it’s just what the city needs etc. But some comments are down right hateful and ignorant. I know you have to expect that but it’s just frustrating that people can be keyboard cowboys and slander your business. It seems pretty simple like it and buy it or say hmm not for me and move on. Please visit my page and tell me how offended you are lol. https://m.facebook.com/LawrenceDevelopmentGroup/?view_public_for=107662444101516

Welcome to the development business! As a developer you need to have thick skin and ignore baseless ignorance and unwarranted negativity. Some people will oppose you just because they hate progress others because they hate themselves.

Know this,  the more successful you become the bigger the target on your back and remember this, “You can’t fight with stupid and never take counsel without fools.”

Keep up the good work and what you know is right for you and your family and the community you are trying to serve.
