I think all of the world's problems always comes down to the fact that we continue to allow the greediest of people to take the lead and destroy everything good, bit by bit.

Spot on, we celebrate wealth and power.

The most annoying thing about the apartment complex is they market it based on being environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly. We reclaimed this land in a 'sustainable' way. It was a swamp, not a toxic waste dump. They destroyed a natural environment and are literally bragging they didn't destroy as much as they could.

Cities should build verticle. People already take up enough space. We don't deserve a nice view if we keep encroaching on it.
