making way for townhouses

my second attempt. i ran into a few problems with this one (a little rusty with the software, audacity didn't want to work for me), plus the reporting was incomplete, at least in terms of audio. but here it is. the back story: the owner of a 26 acre property is moving forward with a plan to build 69 townhouses after a developer backed out. residents oppose it but local and state authorities have already ok-ed the development. i spoke with a contractor who was standing by while a colleague picked up 20 to 30 foot trunks with a crane.

UPDATE: sizing problems. i'll have to fix that. argh
