It is clear to me they acted when they did to shut the Northern borders when they were negotiating about the Southern borders, that is the reason for the abrupt closure of the wall with no explanation. You don't show your hand at the table.
I think that most people who live here are not all excited about "protecting the environment" the way the minority of residents feel. Sorry. we aren't allowed to name parties or we get whooped. So far none of these reasons are striking a cord with me.
Someone cut the trees down on Village property and the district got fined by a government environmental agency and told to replant trees. I think the someones are folks whose views would have been improved by the trees being gone, because those someone's either wanted a clear view to enjoy, or a clear view to market their home to sell. I don't think there was a conspiracy, just some danged ballsy people who think they can do whatever they want. I think it was cash and no one can prove WHO exactly hired it done or who did the cutting.
I don't think if the New York Times had it on their front page that it wouldn't dampen the enthusiasm of anyone who wants to move here.

There are a lot of people, pro hunters, who look down on corralling animals inside of fences for the sport of shooting.
I don't believe the Berlin Wall was interesting to many outsiders either, but look at the lengths they went to to obscure their actions, despite the reason people think it happened. Why not just come out and say Look, we had to do this to protect our southern borders. Did they think Fruitland Park was not going to find out about it? They have never said why they did it. Just left it up to speculation and waited everyone out. It is just an example of how they keep everything under wraps. And why,
in my opinion, they would want this tree-cutting incident to go away. You asked what you were missing, and I am giving you my idea of what you might be missing.
As to the environment, many people are interested in It's protecting it if they have to foot the bill for people who damage it.
You know about big business, Gracie. They will go to any lengths to keep negative publicity at bay. They don't want their name in the paper unless it's going to shine favorable light upon them.
