cookie cutter townhomes
replace old avocado groves
properties of zero-lot-lines,
nowhere to even plant thyme
all of this uncontrolled urbanization
all this untamed deforestation
this unchecked fragmentation
the lack of habitat connection
initiate green infrastructure legislation
improve urban greenspace implementation
incentivize groundwater infiltration
install bioswales for stormwater mitigation
Biscayne aquifer recharges via percolation
