Was told I couldn’t ride here because endangered wildlife lived here. Now it will be a warehouse.

No, you dont understand it’s an endangered warehouse
I feel like the issue is the warehouse, not that you should have been able to ride on endangered animals.
Are you in SWFL? Looks familiar.
Shareholders > planet sadly
Don’t worry, the wildlife will be sent to live on a farm!
You had to slip the planning commission a five’r first. It only takes money to eliminate endangered wildlife.
Keep voting for those Republicans and the whole state will be warehouses and homeless parks eventually 🤙 congrats
The EPA rollback has killed wetlands. Its devastating.
Fuck the Supreme Court and their vested interests.
I build a series of trails through a 100 acre nature preserve in my town a few years ago. One of the coolest trails goes through this awesome meadow. The trail is on a hill, up hill is just nothing but tall grass for 200 feet and down the hill is a swamp like this. There is always so much wildlife here, it is hands down the coolest part of the property. At the top of the hill is one of those “you store it” places. The preserve is city owned, but there is a barbed wire fence where the storage buildings end.
About 4 years ago I noticed the fence was gone and a huge amount of dirt and cement trash had been dumped down the hill and leveled off on top. It looked like ass, but I figured I didn’t know where the property line was, so that was probably their property, and it would eventually cover with grass and erode a bit so whatever.
Then the next year they did it again only it came out 200 feet and completely covered my trail. Since this was a hill we’re talking about 20 to 30 feet tall of dirt, old sidewalks, landscaping garbage, and even actual garbage like glass bottles. This was obviously the foundation for them building another row of storage buildings.
So I email the parks department, they say they sold a couple of acres to the storage people. Nothing I can do about it.
I start creating a new trail 50 feet further down hill, pissed that my years of effort were gone in a matter of weeks. It wasn’t the same, the view was ruined, you were too close to the swamp to see it and the trail was actually in the water now, so anyone walking this trail was now going to get wet feet.
But the good news is the next year my problem was solved. They put in another 100 feet of dirt completely ruining this entire section the park. I told the parks admin I was closing this trail entirely. I went to the two trail heads removed the signs, and stacked sticks across the trail. That really killed my enthusiasm for volunteering for this park.
That was until last year when I found out the city ok’d someone installing 18 holes of disc golf in the nature preserve. Apparently the hiring standards for parks administrators isn’t very high.
Once the Republicans kill off all the endangered animals there is no reason to protect the land anymore.
Sorry money can change everything
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
You forgot to pay them a huge sum of money first.
The world is being destroyed for a handful of greedy MFers.
Not $urprised…
Good ol capitalism. Fuck nature. /s
Under the previous Republican administration here in Wisconsin, [a special law was written to allow a Cabela’s to build on a wetland.](https://patch.com/wisconsin/shorewood/bp–green-bay-packers-cabelas-to-build-on-wetlands-ne2aa075eadd) Similar efforts have been made around Arcadia, WI to benefit Ashley Furniture.
Here in my town they recently built a costco. Now, in Washington they have rules about how much protected wetland you are supposed to have per house/business. So we have a lot of areas that are protected wetland you can’t build on.
In comes costco, and suddenly those protections don’t matter and they allow costco to build right on top of one of them. And they reason “costco is going to bring hundreds of well-paying jobs into our town.”
I’m sorry, but $22/hr is not a well-paying job in a HCOLA where house prices start in the $800,000s and apartments are nearly $3000 a month.
It’s almost like they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Couldn’t ride what?
I live in SE Florida – in the Miami area the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) was created to help protect the Everglades, bay, and water sources. The goal was to never develop the land outside of this boundary. There was recently a very contentious development plan outside the UDB by a developer who wanted a large business park and warehousing. The county commission ended up voting to allow an exception mostly due the promise of jobs in the area (the number seemed very inflated). Now that an exception was legally granted it created a new precedent; there’s now a long list of developers requesting exceptions to build even more.
This is literally the purpose of the USA to convert natural public spaces into privatized asphalt husks
I was not allowed to bike along a river near me for the same reasons, then they put condos and a golf course where the path was
Stop electing politicians who gut the EPA and allow these things to happen.
Corruption sucks. What can people do to fight corruption in our institutions?
That’s what defunding and deregulating the industries created to protect our planet, will do to ya…
Ride what? A crocodile?
Former land use professional in Florida, and I would encourage anyone interested to check out the boundary line and how it’s been pushed over time. Every time they push it, they say that they stopped there due to environmental concerns…only to push it again a year later. Florida WILL sink, and it’s entirely their fault.
I know what you might be thinking. But no, you can’t ride on the warehouse parking lot either.
This is happening all over the place. Here’s an example of the ecological impact of this sort of thing from Maryland: https://www.bayjournal.com/news/growth_conservation/a-maryland-river-turns-orange-bay-grasses-disappear/article_0eb7fdfc-5eeb-11ee-b0d3-07364673369e.html
Well, endangered species had protections. Extinct ones don’t. Fuck our timeline.
Literally fuck the supreme court. It pisses me off that we know they’re compromised, and we know they’re dangerous, but any suggestion that we need to remove them is considered extremist.

Yes, but did you try being rich? Pesky things like rules go away real fast when you are.
In states with Alligators; an unethical life pro tip to saving the wetlands is to introduce alligators to the water, as it becomes exponentially harder to build on land that is inhabited by federally protected species.
Corporate says “fuck you, Earth”.
Every time.
It’s grim. Here’s a good article covering just how grim
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2022/05/the-annihilation-of-florida-an-overlooked-national-tragedy
Is this tied to the recent legislation concerning the elimination of wetlands that don’t have an outlet or sth?
Wetlands are among our most important of ecologies. We have to stop destroying them. This is wrong.
I hope it’s okay if I utilize this comment section to bring attention to a similar issue. Baccarat is going to build luxury condos over a protected archaeological landmark in Miami.
> The Miami Historic & Environmental Preservation Board unanimously voted Tuesday to designate a portion of a Brickell site where prehistoric artifacts and human remains are likely to reside underground as a protected archaeological landmark, but the move is unlikely to prevent Related Group from erecting a luxury high-rise there.
>
> The vote follows months of protests from local archeologists, activists and members of Native American groups, who say the ancient findings at the site are significant, and oppose construction on the site, which could destroy the remains.
