Oh your right, excuse me, I didn't see it before but now I do. Humans live so much better when they are smashed right up on top of each other and the need for another asphalt strip mall are just so obvious.

Or better yet a heavy trucking terminal should be located practically inside of a neighborhood while there are hundreds of acres not near a neighborhood where it could have been placed.

I guess these developers should also be able to dump whatever chemical or trash they want on their property as well, after all it is their property.

Developers can, and in some areas of the US do, balance the needs of the community and nature. Conservation is not particularly a liberal left issue even if they hijacked it.

A cursory search on Free Republic will find Freepers who have been to Communist and former communist countries, they speak of the environmental decay there, among others granted but my main concern here is the environment. In this manner pure capitalism and pure communism are not so far apart. No one in either case can stop the developer from doing something that harms the environment.

You don't have to be a global warming nut or anti-human or even liberal to realize we have to be good stewards of the environment.

If you want to 'preserve the environment' then buy some.
