The other issue is the colony of stray cats behind this facility. Chewy employees previously held a TNR some years back, but new cats have arrived and there are a bunch expecting kittens. Chewy now says they don't interfere with 'wildlife'. Really seems like they aren't going to do anything at all to help. Stray cats, even feral cats, may not be friendly but they are domesticated animals and not wildlife.

A plant that is growing in abundance nearby? I paid $600 for allergy testing for my cat. It was a blood sample. Not sure the cost for a dog but might be worth it if so many are suffering.

Spring and fall is when my (and my children's) allergies are at their worst. I'm down 83 a ways though. But the timing makes me think it's plant based.

MRI. I was in the middle of a migraine each time. It was very painful bc of how loud it was and my noise tolerance during my migraine. I have also had cat scans done, once at an ER visit, and once during a neurological work up for my migraines. I've been suffering from migraines for over 40 years. I've been to the ER quite a few times for more intense migraines or ones where I can't get them to stop.

It's too late, it's already sold and developed. But that's good information for other people concerned with undeveloped areas near them. People didn't even know this was a possibility though.

Part of the issue with this is that the board changed the status of the land from 'by right' to 'conditional use' without appropriately notifying or involving the public.

Residents noticed people surveying the area and spoke up, only to discover it was already a done deal.

Yeah but I like wooded areas with wildlife more than truck noises. The article is about more growth on Carlisle Pike in Cumberland County. I live in northern York County. So equally on the outskirts of the Burg, just in a different direction.

My suburban neighborhood is next to 2 amazon warehouses, FedEx depot, and a chewy warehouse, among several other smaller ones.

Lost semi trucks rip up our yard when try and turn around in my cul de sac. They just installed 'no truck turn' signs at the entrances to tge development, that I don't think lost drivers will see. The guy who knew what he was doing at fedex must've retired or died bc the new guy drops trailers so loudly overnight. We have deer that live in a pathetic 10 foot strip of trees between a road and the fence to these warehouses.

When we bought this home, we knew of the 1 amazon and FedEx. There was a thin row of townhomes and trees to block the light from those and back then the fedex noise was significantly less than it is now.

A key selling feature for our home was that our township doesn't allow anymore warehouses or strip malls to be built. What we didn't know at the time was that the main road outside of our development is the township line.

The township next to us cleared 2 million square feet of wooded area for the warehouses across the street. The whole deal was done behind closed doors and it was very controversial. Citizens tried to fight it but were told it was a done deal. There are people on that twp board who have been accused of multiple acts of corruption, it's an ongoing fight with the citizens. In this case, it's big warehouse company (goodman logistics) seeing the opportunity that comes from local corruption in low income areas. Amazon and chewy just happen to be the tenants.
