We need more trees.

The housing market in the U.S. is in bad shape but developers continue to build new houses. There are tons of abandoned, foreclosed and house that have been on the market for a few years. Why do we need to cut down more trees or take over farms to build housing developments that most people cannot afford? Are we trying to get back at the Native Americans? "Ha ha, we are destroying more of the land we robbed from you!" If the developers want to keep working during the recession they should fix up the existing houses or demolish them and build new ones on the existing lot. They can even plant trees or make new parks. Anything but build more houses! We need more trees and less houses.
