By means, it creates highly financial pressure for the majority of individuals who are living there. As a result, most of people would face a social problem in affording houses that gives more impacts to the homeless and crime. Ċ By way of conclusion, planting trees in urban areas are pivotal for society's prosperity. From my viewpoint, it is most agreeable to focus more on planting trees for the sake of a friendly environment, though the building of houses is essential. However, the balance between them should be an effective solution for environmental protection.
