Is there a promise of some new chip plant?

You'll be planting oak trees to grow over time, not bamboo, and that is absolutely fine. :)

I have another one were I optioned 120 acres that just got brought into long term planning for chips act. paid 5 million for it and spend 10k a month negative..

And this one cracked me up: "We were sipping lukewarm coffee from chipped mugs, half convinced we’d made a mistake."

Safer assets like a T-Bill allow you to borrow 96% of the value where blue chip stocks like Apple are at 70%.

This can then be used as a negotiation chip in order to lower the price of the property.

Long term buy and hold RE in good locations is probably one of the lowest risk investment vehicles IMO, similar to blue chip aristocrat stocks except even less risky because even long-established companies can go out of business but real estate very, very rarely ever goes to zero. 

Quote from @John Clark: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs:  to me if I was insurance  now that all the fuel is burned seems to me the fire danger has passed at least for the next 5 too 10 years ( time frame for the brush to grow back.. news keep talking about forest management.. there are no forests in those areas is Brush and scraggly oaks..

So white shaker cabinets and quartz countertops really don't get a premium, because a majority of the tenant base would rather save $200/mo and live with the oak cabinets and laminate counters.  

Send them a pizza, crackers, and chips & salsa.
