“But its the governments job to develop public land and make sure private venues don’t negatively affect the ecosystems.”

Corpsman89 you nailed it with that line. The government is supposed to see to it that the citizens are not ruining what lies beyond their property line. But as we all know politicians are always “For Sale”. So exceptions to the rules are written and poof there goes the neighbor hood. There are many people that despise government regulation. We need to remind them of one thing, regulation is the result of bad behavior by either individuals or business.
