Is this really surprising to people? Just looking around at what's going on in my area. Developments are taking over wildlife habitat just to put in a road and build people's vacation homes.  They want to be closer to nature but destroy a bunch of it so they can look at from the windows. We have laws that should stop things like this but as long as you donate to the right politicians and correct environmental group you can get almost anything you want.
It just happened a few years ago about 500 acres of wetlands and wildlife. Got approved to be developed for housing. There was complaints right away but after a few million in donations everyone shut up and permits handed out. Of course it nothing for affordable housing a single plot of land I think was listed between $50,000-$150,000usd. All were sold in a few months and multi-million dollar homes started to get built.
Wow fuck that website. Was gonna read the article until every bit of real estate on my phone was covered by ads for their stupid app
Edit: I'm not downloading ad blocker. I'm on my phone and if the website sucks that bad then I don't need it. Even porn sites are better about ads. >

Even the websites are running out of habitat. >

I was going to say this. It's a good example of why humans are screwing up the planet. Greed. Nothings ever enough. >

The base of our entire underlying economic system is that unfettered greed is the best way to run a society....or at minimum, structuring society to allow for unfettered greed is alright because "free market".
