What about the empty, smelly, marshland? Sure there may be some limited wildlife there but what about you know, people who want a house affordable enough to have a family?

Limited wildlife in wetlands? No. Wetlands are among the most richly bio diverse ecological niches. Humans regard themselves as somehow outside the system in which they evolved.

Smelly? The presence of volatile compounds interacting with your olfactory receptors that trigger certain aversive reactions is a poor justification for destroying a natural habitat.

The smell they're referring to is probably the Milpitas Stench, which is probably coming from a San Jose garbage dump. It is quite… noticeable.

There are millions of square kilometers of undeveloped land that are not within 30 minutes of the most expensive real estate in the USA. Preserve it elsewhere, let families have homes here.
