It's not about a view. It's about the loss of walkability, of having nearby retail, and certainly about not having trucks pulling in and out all day.

I don't think they'll put a warehouse in this spot, but having warehouses replace the stores in our towns is no way to live in the long run.

Shopping locally brings more tax revenue to towns than online shopping. It protects jobs.
