I don't agree. It's not like the land being used in that urban setting is home to wildlife. It's not filled with trees. It's a giant lawn that gets watered every day and if you want to be there, you have to pay. I don't see that as being an improvement to anything else in a city.

    Golf courses, at least the ones I've been to, have tons of trees. They're usually densely forested in the areas between holes to make a sort of barrier. And I certainly see more wildlife on a golf course than in, say, the parking lot of a strip mall.

    I found a squirrel's nest on one course with about a hundred golf balls in it. And I've gotten chased off my tee shot by a bull elk.

    Those animals are there despite the course, not because of the course. Golf courses are not wildlife habitats.

    Take a look at New York City and tell me where the animals are.

    The High Line Park for one. There's also another huge park in central Manhattan you may have heard of, but the name escapes me.
