A "Development-Free America"

From a Wall Street Journal article, 2002:

The Endangered Species Act was passed nearly 30 years ago in a show of bipartisan good intentions, to help animals on the brink of extinction. But since that time, environmental groups have hijacked the act, turning it into a bludgeon by which they can enforce their vision of a development-free America. It's rural parts of the country, where small landowners lack deep pockets and political clout, that bear the brunt.
