I wonder if the Lowe's people can possibly connect the dots here. Alot of people do not like to see marshes, wetlands, meadows, hillsides, etc. destroyed for ugly big box, flat-roofed buildings. It is not smart growth. It doesn't make sense to rip up precious open-space when there are other options and other already developed parcels that they could utilize. Especially now when Lowe's is closing stores. I think Lowe's is getting a bad reputation because of this and losing business as a result. I know I used to shop at Lowe's--not anymore and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a low real estate scam. Loan washing, borrowing from Walmart! Eh?
ReplyDeleteWho da thunk a company would stoop lower than W-mart?
