The vocal NIMBY groups are alive and well in Sammamish. When the builder that built the house you are now living in, where were you to throw out whatever “sticks to the wall” to save the trees, birds, wildlife, bugs etc. to stop progress? After all, it is your neighbors’ land and how would you feel if your neighbors turned on you when all you were doing is exercising your free right to sell land you owned?

If you really want to keep your “free” park/green space forever, do as we all do when we want something, just buy it.
