What good can come of the total removal of nature from such a beautiful site?
Here is a rare and threatened Oscillated Humboldt Lilly from the very site pictured above, now never to bloom again thanks to development clearing the site as seen in the previous photo.

Natural community template

The residents of this quiet grove of ancient live oak will all be dead one year from today.
What possible purpose can it serve to so utterly destroy these living breathing natural places, all for the convinience of housing development the old fasioned way.
Remember, Nature? We killed it.
Why? Ignorance and lazyness. Ignorance of homebuyers preferences, in that we prefer the area's natural attributes, the ease of caring for native plants as compared to lawns and oleanders, and the wide open views afforded by not having fences dividing us and segregating us from the nature we dearly love.
