Well, I pity the farmers who will be out of work and business because of the invasion of the industrial revolution
Maybe those who built on the fertile part of the city weren't educated on the major occupation of the citizens
If they were i am sure they would have chosen other part of the lands to buy, and build upon
Most of the developers , politicians, economists and the experts in environment are university graduates. They are educated people but greediness make them forget where they are from.
