urban sprawl

Location

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
