I bet that parcel would also serve as a good spot for their wolves to roam around too

Reading that article reminds me of Thomas Sowell's quote about how there are no "solutions," only "trade-offs." Wildlife habitat, property-owner rights, and affordable employee housing are all worthy, but sometimes incompatible, objectives. Something has to give.
