Across the country, farmland and open land are being bulldozed for soulless private-equity apartment blocks and “affordable housing” boondoggles cooked up between politicians and developers.From Florida to New Jersey, the government isn’t just rubber-stamping ugly growth — it’s trying to seize private property to hand over to builders. But sometimes, people push back. A family farm in Cranbury, New Jersey just beat an eminent-domain takeover — a rare win for ordinary Americans who actually own and work their land.This isn’t anti-growth. It’s pro-sanity. Build where it makes sense. Revitalize cities. But don’t bulldoze heritage, agriculture, and generational property just to slap up another copy-paste complex. Paradise is precious. Let’s stop paving it over.
