Here’s where I get mad. I live on a beautiful dirt road in the middle of nowhere and enjoyed having no neighbors. On a road two miles long, 4 houses get built in a year and a half. Then the 100 year old plus maple trees that lined the road were fucking cut down by one of the new people. It was like they couldn’t just leave well enough alone. They probably have ‘climate hero’ in their twitter bio

I get how that could be frustrating, but without buying the land yourself, I don't think it's reasonable to expect other people will not build homes on land you don't own and that isn't protected in some way as a state/national forest or something like that, as long as it is zoned for residential use at that density. People need places to live, and we don't have enough of them.

That’s fine. I understand that. They didn’t cut down the trees to build their house. They cut down the trees after they had built the house. It made no sense to do so and messed up the aesthetic of the road.
