This forest-lined street might as well be ... anywhere. The picture certainly has more green space than blacktop, but the "natural look" is nothing more than a deception. The trees remain because some developer decided to leave a buffer for the houses he/she was building. The buffers are not really green because they are no more than five feet thick (you can see a house through the foliage on the right) and merely a facade covering a bedroom community. This street starts our journey toward a city.
