The first time I flew from NYC to Washington DC, was forty years ago.
What I saw shocked me: all down the coast the view was dominated by development: buildings, buildings, and more buildings.
What from the ground I might have taken as vast forests, viewed from above were but little postage stamps of green surrounded on all sides by buildings and cement.
It was an horrific sight.
And it’s only gotten worse.
No wonder we’ve lost so much freedom.
I live in a vast metropolis of around 150 to 200 people. We see turkeys and deer wandering through town.
