There are developments that try to take the opposite tack by limiting the number of houses, keeping the trees and not disturbing the wildlife. They have park-like settings, and there is much more natural beauty there.
These ponds are also a haven for a wide variety of beautiful birds, which end up being food for the alligators. When one is in a pond the birds disappear or have become lunch.

That says it all.
Cutting down trees and scraping top soil has no regard for nature. That kills and makes all animals homeless. If you care about all animals, you treat the earth with respect. I cried for two days when they cut down the 2 trees left across the road and all those little creatures lost their homes and shade. Natural trees and natural lakes should be respected.
The developer advertises fishing and gives out free fishing poles at Spanish Springs.!!!! He uses the sailing club in his DVD. !!!!
The sailors and I were not happy with the killing. We thought the gator would of been trapped and moved.
Enough said
