    Not really, we removed a TON of stuff to make way for roads. We’re over 100 years out of date, its just a matter of funding.

      In the before shot the whole place is full of trees. So so many trees, I can see like 1/20th of them in the later picture.

Another terrible ramification of all these roads is that unlike the housing there before it all creates polluted stormwater runoff. This is runoff that destroys aquatic habitats if left untreated
