Permanently destroying huge areas of natural land. Nearby from where I live, there's a development corporation in my hometown that has bought up virtually all of the remaining woods, meadows and wetlands in the area, paved them, and built retail spaces that go vacant just a few months later.

Businesses aren't even moving into these places but the group just keeps spreading out and "developing". It seems like every month, I drive past another levelled tract of land, frankly it's terrible.
