Dumb decision

Still just trees. And we're still just people... kinda like fleas on the earth (insignificant).

Even complete nuclear annihilation won't stop the earth from recovering.

It will go on, with or without us, arguably better without us.

Cutting down those trees... a stupid move for sure. But then again, people do stupid things all the time and on a grander scale with farther reaching consequences.

This ^^^^^. I also wonder if pushback from residents (and their economic ability to do so) was taken into consideration at all when finalizing the route.

I doubt it.

I work in a pretty serious environment... big decisions, lots of details and money.

From what I've experienced, people just do the minimum (there are exceptions, of course). Finger pointing is a survival skill.

At the end of the day, when something goes wrong... just don't be the last guy who touched it.
