Urban sprawl appears almost unstoppable. I would be unlikely to support action that would take the option of developing land away from the property owner without fair compensation. that is why I notice, contemplate and discuss innovative plans like these.

I have witnessed the same thing. A lot in my neighborhood had been left forested by the developer. It was sold much later than mine. I remember taking my old dog for walks on it. It had good feeling. It had the strongest field of positive energy I had felt in a while. The buyer hired someone to come in and bulldoze almost every tree. They piled them up and set them afire. Then they built an ugly little house on the lot. Two years later they put it on the market, and it took a long time to sell. The new buyers tried to sell it a year later, and took it off the market after a year. I feel sad for the loss.

My neighborhood was a cow pasture and a crop field which the farmer never wanted to sell. After he started losing calves to stress from dogs in the new neighborhood adjoining it, he felt forced to sell.

If we do not preserve the diversity of our planet, life will suffer. Eventually, it would be likely to wipe mankind out.
