Yes, this can happen here ... and quickly too ... what was once a rolling hills park, with tall trees and an assortment of wildlife ... can be destroyed.
A once cherished community park gone, replaced by asphalt, concrete in the greedy churn towards more and more urban development, aka, Urban Sprawl.
Of course you'll almost always have your apartment & work cubicle ... and your cell phone/video console and there's always recreational shopping ... that's enough, right?
