Good to know. Most people I know don’t want to live near mature trees. [/quote]

No, I mean DCUM will teach you how different people are and there are definitely militantly anti tree people on dcum but unless you live in Ashburn or something, most people want mature trees. [/quote]
Why aren’t more people living in rural areas where there are obviously more trees?
Cities have less trees but most people would rather live nearby. I guess people don’t care so much about trees as you think.[/quote]

The most expensive parts of DC have more trees than the cheaper parts of DC. Makes you think. By contrast exurbia subdivisions are pretty treeless because they were all cut down to build houses. It's not a neat case of one or the other. [/quote]

Exurbia subdivisions were often built on land that was farmed or pastures. No trees except maybe a small clump for horses or cows to get some shade.  That land can also come with natural occurring ponds so beware what was there...  In Mclean there was a garden at the intersection of Balls Hill and Old Dominion.

If a builder has woods they don't clear cut the whole thing- only whats necessary.  Some properties come with huge mature trees planted too close to the foundation.  Or the sewer and gas lines etc run through the roots which can invade sewer lines for example. [/quote]
