Maybe we don't need to pave every inch of ground inside the city limits.

Tight, compact development is actually better in the long run for the environment than infinite subdivisions.

Fair point, but I'd rather a subdivision didn't go in there either.

It's going to get developed one way or the other, I just think it's a shame.

Yea, the subdivision thing was more about continuing to push single family developments towards Rogersville, Ozark, and Nixa because people constantly make interior development such a headache. Even the Grant Avenue parkway caused a ruckus, so I'm not singling out Galloway on that particular issue.

Your second sentence is why something like this, with a developer that is adding back green space into their plan and making it mixed use, feels like something to encourage.
