Georgia should be ashamed for all the destruction they’ve done with the tree canopies

McDonough used to be beautiful. Too many apartments and closed together houses.

On the road I live on they just cleared about 1k acres. There are no jobs here to build that much nor anyone to afford it.

I’ve been asking for a impact study cause I live on a river that’s rising more every rain because of all the buildings are taking up ground water space and in the 3 years I never received an email phone call or anything. It’s clear it’s all about their pockets being lined with money. Politicians are crooked as hell.

I’m sick of this shit. We are killing the only earth we have just to build businesses we don’t need and neighborhoods we have too many of. Did you know that the US has more empty houses than homeless people? And yet we keep building them. I’m so sick of it

People moving here want our state to be concrete!!! I’m so grieved seeing it all!! Your county isn’t the only one and I’ve been saying the same thing about Putnam and Greene!! They have cut all our old growth trees! 😔

I live in McDonough and I can tell you, NONE OF US WANT THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS!!!!!! There are dead animals all over the roads because these poor animals have nowhere to go!!! The traffic is horrendous from all the new houses going up. This isn't Atlanta, we don't want to be a cityscape!!!

Democrats running the county does not care. All they care about is money. More builds more tax money. Their close developer buddies wheeling and dealing with them. They are all crooked and money hungry. Their goal, per even Shaq himself, is to take the county over, and they are destroying it. If you can’t build on it, they are gonna pave over it.

Tax companies for every tree they cut down and use the money to replant forests. Higher tax for old growth, rebates for planting more than they remove.

A few things I wish I knew :
I grew up in Henry County. I remember when we didn’t even have a Walmart. It’s changed so much I don’t even recognize it.
