It continues now. Unrestrained, headlong plummet of quality of life as so-called "Development",.....
The On-going Chopping Down of Trees:
It wouldn’t take even a decade for my favorite places to be taken down.
I was drawn to check out Copley Sq. after work, but there was no wind when I got there. But what I did in fact find was that the special places were gone..... the Break-Through Trees. They’d been chopped down, like a line of executed convicts, like a row of condemned, corpses together. And, as I rode further, I saw the absent place where once blossomed and hung the sweet fruit of peaches....Peach Tree had been chopped down. These living things, which had given me so much delight along my way, during the day, had been cleared.
Such a profound sign!
Can there be any clearer a proof of human folly?!
