    Aren’t golf courses incredibly polluted with persistent use of pesticides that should probably be illegal? Maybe development would be better than trying to grow food in toxic soil?

      Yeah, the land use doesn’t bother me, it’s the herbicides and pesticides nuking the bottom of the food chain. And somehow no one seems to have noticed the radical decline in the insect population this century.

      OTOH, lawns take up far more space and homeowners are nuking those to death.
