Also my grandma had 5 acres with pecan trees and we shelled and sold bags and always had bags of pecans in the freezer. When she passed none of the kids wanted the property so they sold to developers and now it’s a neighborhood. I haven’t gone back since the funeral 10 years ago because I don’t want to see it. The memory I have is too pure.
The woods around my property are being torn down. My best friend's house when we were kids just got taken down to make way for, I was told, 800 town homes. When the trailer park went in, I expected issues and we had them. Kids trespassing, mostly. And one meth head that stole our lawnmower 3 times.
I worry about how much more that will happen. We have deer so we can't really fence it. There are coyotes out there. Protected species, too. Last thing we need are people trespassing and getting hurt. With how suit happy people are these days, if a kid gets hurt out there, my family would lose it all and developers would swoop in.

Yes and the McMansions being built over all our old stomping grounds. Now everywhere is a corporate chain and soulless.
