I for one would have preferred that people were more practical minded and realized that one day this would happen. So instead of asphalt being around the mango trees, people would have realize that through the mango forest, special ground preparations could have been done and a geo-cloth could have been laid down and concrete applied atop that, to protect the tree roots. Proper planning was made impossible because of the opposition to paving.
That's important, because it's opposition to advancement that leads to substandard/poor advancement, such as we now see with petroleum based roadway above the tree root system.
Bottom line, most people in the area don't in fact really care about the mango trees, but rather use them as an excuse to continue poor development practices around them in order to keep others out. It's actually selfishness. The area deserved a far more responsible approach and it wasn't allowed.
I expressed a warning about this very issue several years ago. But... They really don't care as much as they claim, the proofs in the deeds.
