According to the US Geological Survey, "The population of the Southwestern United States has increased by approximately 1,500% over the last 90 years (1900-1990), while the population of the United States as a whole has grown by just 225%."

“The President… authorizes me to instruct you to make the attack so strong & persistent that their fate may be commensurate with their crime. You will be fully justified in their utter extermination.”

"The young bloods of the South... This is a larger class than most men suppose, & they are the most dangerous set of men that this war has turned loose upon the world... These men must all be killed or employed by us before we can hope for peace.”
-General Sherman, 1863

To bridge southern and western history, General William Tecumseh Sherman presents an important case study. Below I offer two of Sherman's statements—the first written during the Civil War and the second a decade later during the Modoc War of 1872-1873.

The downtown Annapolis bike lane and boardwalk are being removed on Main Street. Signs in shop windows express local business opposition; parking spaces were lost.
@APBrianWitte@TM4Annap The cycling in the countryside around Annapolis is first-rate, but cyclists have no good way of getting into & out of the city. I would argue there is some money to be made by creating good & safe cycling routes.
@APBrianWitte@TM4Annap There is already a fairly clear path north out of the city over the 450 bridge. Annapolis cyclists could really use bike lanes out of town along Bestgate Rd, Rte 2, & Riva Rd.
Recreational tourism and the degradation of nature?
