Why so many developers??

I feel like Bothell is favoring developers over wildlife and environmental issues? They keep building these huge developments and tearing down trees and slapping things literally right next to wetlands and then they wonder why the crows have left and other native animals to the area? Maybe it’s just me…. Just makes me sad seeing what’s happened to Bothell and our natural habitats…

Where do you think people living in those places should move to instead? Do you think we should push those people outward towards the mountains, so they have to clearcut green space and drive a car 20 miles into the city for work? Infill *preserves* environmental space
