I find it a catch 22 that we move to remote places for the trees and the beauty, but then we destroy it in order to build houses, sub-divisions, stores, and conveniences. Sure, it would be nice to have a house on this lake, but then the lake would be lined with houses and these beautiful trees would be gone. The serenity of the lake, the calmness of the waters, would be disrupted as we put boats and jet-skis into it. And the animals would have no place to go because we have destroyed their homes in order to make our own. This area would no longer be the same as what first attracted us to it.
I don't know the solution. I wish I did. One idea is that the price of already developed areas should be cheaper than the pristine lands in order to discourage building on the wild places and encourage buying abandoned areas. There are so many empty buildings that we really should recycle those places before we destroy an area that takes hundreds and thousands of years to create.
