Report says protecting SoCal toad could cost $789 million

The AP reports:

A federal study says efforts to protect the endangered arroyo toad in Southern California could cost $789 million over 25 years.

A U.S. Fish and Wildlife analysis issued last month looked at a revised proposal to protect more than 112,000 acres of critical habitat for the toad in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties.

Some places literally hate the middle class life style. Some places want to restrict land to have artificially high real estate prices. The green movement likes animals a heck of lot more than people. What better proof than this?
