  1. I guess EVERYONE cares more about making money than the environment than mowing down all these beautiful trees. JUST TO MAKE A PROFIT.

    Why is it more important to grant GREEDY mass-producing builders to cut down thousands of trees? Building bland houses with no personality.

    At Fischer’s has pretty houses. And occasionally builds a wooded housing complex. But most of the time they just mow down trees too for a profit.

    1. Agree! Most neighborhoods that are built nowadays are so cookie cutter and low quality with horrible aesthetics. They lack architectural contributions to the community that 30 years from now we all look back and say “why the heck did we allow these mass production homebuilders to do this?”
