Seems when you draw attention to REAL ESTATE values to hypothetical values from any professors some get their knickers in a knot.
But in the real world I assure you, a home for your children, your family and a roof above their heads ranks #1 above any tree.
It also appears that some may not be accustomed to the recent hike in rents or real estate values. There is a serious affordability question here and complicating issues beyond true value simply doesn't cut the mustard. Tree preservation is an important factor ... so is housing people.
My objective, educated too, is too point out that balance, not succumb to it on either side.
