Right or wrong forum; I feel your pain. They chop down all the trees so they can park their extra cars so they can get from Bojangles to McDonalds to Walmart and back home to binge on Netflix and order more things from Amazon. The last few years have seen an explosion of speculative new homes in and around my small town. 90% of them clear cut, then spank out a horrible cheaply made house with not a bush or tree or weed to be seen.

I love having trees, but my neighbors cut them down to make it easier to mow their postage stamp lawns Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #12

I hear you Marthe48 May 2024 #13
