Concrete / Jungle

Tim De Chant collects satellite photos of urban neighborhoods that show the correlation between tree density and income inequality (poorer neighborhoods have fewer trees, wealthier neighborhoods have more trees). HE IS RIGHT. I have seen this with my own two (2) eyes. Matt O’Brien did some research with De Chant’s theory in the Bay Area and it checks out. Is your neighborhood green or grey? (Mine is grey, but rent is still one million dollars. But if I wanted to live where it was green, it’d be TWO million dollars, because New Yooorrrrkkkkk.)
