Crystal Springs isnt anywhere near Yosemite if that is what you are referencing. That being said it supposedly was gorgeous and almost as amazing before being filled with water

Not Crystal Springs. Hetch Hetchy, the damning of which legendarily caused John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club, to die of a broken heart.

It’s a nitpick but the words you are looking for are “dam”, “dammed”, and “damming”. Damning is a very different thing entirely.

They both work, really

Not really inaccurate in this case, though. It's a huge loss.

Yeah but the Sierra Club enthusiastically believes that infill housing is evil because a shadow falls on a corner of a park used by underserved minorities. So one must assume that the environment is not anywhere near the top priority for them.

They are referring to Hetch Hetchy.
