Good post, but in this case the developer appears to "own" Florida and seems able to do whatever he/they want. There was a time when people could not just chop down a tree without getting permission, now it seems not to matter to anyone how many trees are brought down or cut back literlly to a bare tree trunk. However, when I drive down B.Vista it still takes my breath away.
