Whether you cut down the trees with your own two hands or were several (or many) steps removed from that, you absolutely contributed to the growth you're complaining about.
That "available apartment" would have been taken by someone else who now needs to find another place to live, and dominoes on down the line. Do you not drive anywhere, contributing to traffic? Do you not patronize retail stores, increasing demand and driving further growth?
I took an available apartment. I also work for myself. So, I did not destroy a forest to gain my new place to live. I also took no job from anyone.
