I'm not sold on it either but it boils down to this: private property rights. The right to own and develop property is absolutely fundamental to our society. As a remodeler, I'm just blown away by all the building and zoning codes. I can have one nail missing and have an inspector fail the framing inspection yet a block away could be an illegal duplex or triplex conversion and they do nothing about it. But it's what separates the hatchet jobbers from the professionals.
About the picture of the mock up. It shows loads of mature trees. Yeah right. Look at The Grove. Those honey locusts have taken 20 years to get 1/2 mature size. 2 of them died last year and were replaced with 3 or 4 inch caliper babies. Due to the sandy cobbly soil, downtown seems a difficult place for large trees. Just saying.
