Environmental concerns include increased car traffic, noise, and littering from ongoing construction, while the sheer scale of development brings fears regarding resource consumption and disruption of the local environment. Though less than X% of the land is reportedly slated for development, some supporters say this avoids denser luxury real estate, allowing for conservation and farming uses like cattle ranching and organic crops.
