What is it with developers? I see a beautiful stand of tall, in their prime, hardwood trees. A developer sees his or her wallet and an apartment complex. Only a developer would use the phrase “underdeveloped.” Unrestricted development is killing the planet. A developer starts waving around a big checkbook and gets what he or she wants.
