I was just having a conversation today about whether you could reduce the crime rate in an area just by planting more trees.

I was just having a conversation today about whether you could reduce the crime rate in an area just by planting more trees.
- ericd 14y agoWhat's the reasoning there?
- rgrieselhuber 14y agoThat trees have a calming effect on populations and create a feeling of comfort and provision. Also, in hot places, if you remove the stressor of hot concrete and more heat from above, you might help people feel more relaxed.
- ericd 14y agoHm, yeah, trees to make me feel more placid and less oppressed than concrete, you're right. I wonder if, with less anger/feeling of being trapped, would-be criminals would rationally see other ways out of their crappy situations.
