It would be cool if Cub could abandon their typical
suburban big-box format for a trendy, urban,
pedestrian-friendly design, but why should that
include plenty of green space?  Green space is sprawl,
much like a parking lot.  It makes little difference
whether I must walk across asphalt or around a wetland
(a.k.a. swamp) to get where I am going.  

If we would quit worrying about preserving wetlands
and open space we would prevent more sprawl.  Why is
it that the same people who are always touting smart
growth and more density don't see the contradiction
between that philosophy and the desire to preserve
open space and not fill in any wetlands?
