A toad reviews the Pines:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5

Pros
✔️ Lots of mosquitoes to eat
✔️ Excellent leaf litter real estate
✔️ Plenty of logs to judge people from

Cons
❌ Being called a frog
❌ Beavers doing construction without permits
❌ Property taxes

“I’d give it 5 stars, but the beavers have completely changed the neighborhood.”
