The loss of the urban canopy should be factored into the tradeoffs around densification proposals. |
Please explain the relevance to rezoning. You don’t think that they cut down trees for single-family home infills they only do when building duplex infills?
Or maybe you were going to say that you’re strongly against the expansion of our suburbs because of the wanton destruction of natural habitat that they cause that takes decades to rebuild. Whereas rezoning would allow densification without such harmful effects.
