I had the same reaction.
Every time I visit/fly over places like New York and SF I'm torn. Waterfront properties are beautiful, but then I think back to the dynamic ecosystem and landscape that was there 300-600 years ago and how different it is now.
It's just interesting to think about how the land we live on now was like before us. Are we living somewhere that could have been a beautiful national park?
