Letter: Urbanization of Beaufort County like northern N.J.

I read about the tree removal on Lady’s Island. Closer to home, I have seen the devastation at the intersection of U.S. 278 and S.C. 46 in Bluffton. I guess we need more big box stores and gas stations.

The urbanization of Beaufort County is a crime against nature. I grew up in northern New Jersey. I’ve seen it before.
