I would have linked the NYT article direct but it's paywalled. Thanks, Obama.

We had a massively underutilized golf course next to our subdivision that shut down. Within a year or two nature moved back in and it was beautiful with a thick hedge between it and "civilization". I'd go in there and see deer, and a variety of raptors on the regular. Then they ripped it all up for new homes all built in identical rows like army barracks.
