Buy doing this we will lose the natural wildlife that has been there for years.

I agree. They should leave this area alone. Besides, who is going to pay that much money for a house and live in Springfield? The commute is difficult in the winter, school districts are quite a distance, and their kids will have nothing to do.

Aren't houses that go up for sale in Springfield already difficult to sell unless the prices are rock bottom?

This is a nice area with wildlife and such. Geez, let it be Bingham County.
