Surely this must be a big part of it, but I haven't seen any good discussions about the topic. Workers are being massively inconvenienced and the environment is being put under unnecessary stress to prop up the value of now-redundant real estate.

Recently I read an essay pointing out that what we call “environment” is our de facto biosphere. It is not surrounding us, it literally keeps us alive, permeating is with every breath and every bite of food.

Destroying the biosphere is the end of life.
