Yeah, it's impossible to develop a greenfield site without scraping everything off. You have to create and get approval on water runoff management plan for any new development. That means grading everything and often these days it also means managing and impounding water on-site without dumping it all into the (overloaded) storm drain system. When there's no grass you have to install silt fences to keep silt out of nearby streams while building. You can't get final approval, and remove the silt fence, until there is some kind of ground cover and that basically means grass since it grows fast and is easy to apply. Even if you somehow left the trees there's no way they'd survive the process.
Fuck McMansion developers, and fuck lawns, don't get me wrong. But it's a reflection of an entire system of land-use policy and not just stupidity, or whatever.
