Here in Sarasota Florida it is the same. The developers are paying sky high prices. The orange groves are gone. The lovely fields where white deer played are gone. The lovely old Florida conch like homes are gone. They were small but well built out of some kind of wood impervious to termites etc. A hard pine found only in a section of Florida.

It's disheartening to see what is happening. The three lane highways in either direction built to accommodate 33.000 cars a day are over crowded with 66.000 a day. The water supply is dwindling and in all the new homes not only are there pools but there are Jacuzzis that eat up the water.

I am a conservationist.The way we abuse our natural resources disturbs me but this is PROGRESS.... Right ?
