I thought they required all new subdivisions to have park/green space. When I was growing up in a subdivision in Marysville that was built in the late 70s/early 80s, there was (still is) a small playground that was run by the city's recreation department. It was eventually explained to me that all new subdivisions had something like that...apparently not anymore.

And you're right about Two Nations Crossing...that pre-emptive clearcutting was a travesty. Especially since they never bothered to clean up the brush, making it a massive eyesore. It's all eventually going to be filled in anyway, but what was the point of doing everything at once?
