Who says we take it for granted?

Not 'take it for granted' in that way. I just meant you wouldn't find
anything like it in the mid-Atlantic, where I currently live. I've lived in
the Pacific Northwest, and I'm acutely aware of that huge budget of natural
splendor back west.

Although it's not what I meant to say, some there obviously do take it for
granted, as I'm sure you'll agree. (The pace of development I saw between
Lake Washingington and Snoqualmie Pass in two years was absolutely
breathtaking.)
