Thanks, Victoria. :-) Yes, more WalMarts is what this country needs. More of their discrimination against women (limited career opportunities) and questionable hiring practices. But enough of that - off topic. I'm very sorry to hear that your neighborhood flora is being bulldozed. Perhaps the best thing to do is send a flyer to all of your neighbors pointing out the damage, and encouraging them to avoid shopping there. That won't bring back the nature, but it may eventually bring back the bulldozers to level an unused building. An article in the Statesman just yesterday pointed out that trimming Oaks now is a no-no due to the increased risk of Oak Wilt, as stated in my first message here. I suppose it's too much to ask that qualified horticulturists/arborists be retained, with project influence and veto power, by the local governments in order to preserve the very charm and allure which has been responsible for the increases in population in this portion of the country. I wonder what it would take to incorporate a new city, with leadership which was respectful of the environment? Let's build those malls and megastores on the outskirts of town in the most barren areas, with minimal destruction of the native landscape. And build a small light rail or bus system for easy access. Ah! Dreaming again... Have a great week! JulioF... "Don't it always seem to go - that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? They've paved paradise... put up a parking lot." One man's "barren area" is another man's unspoiled wilderness. Which "barren areas" did you have in mind, the Hill Country barren areas to the west, or the good farmland barren areas to the east?
