Counterintuitive results for apartment dwellers

Interestingly, for those living in apartments, green space wasn’t associated with better cardiovascular health outcomes. Again, the study authors say there may be a few possible reasons, but more research in this area is needed.

“One reason is that apartments are normally quite dense and may be even crowded. So you can imagine that if you plant the same number of trees in a low density area and then a high density area, the ratio of trees to people changes,” Prof. Feng said.

“Also, even if there is some green space within or around your apartment block, it’s often not an area you can or would want to visit, or permit children to play in. It’s there to tick a box but offers few qualities to attract people to spend time there."

Oops. I interacted with the article and it said what I said. Green areas with trees helped heart health only for people who owned houses and have free time to walk around. If you're low income and don't have free time to walk in the park, green spaces do nothing.

That could really easily be just correlation, I'd be interested to compare the costs of living and average income in places that have greater tree coverage vs. places that don't. More costly apartments and housing have more space for gardens and trees, while poorer urban areas don't.

I don't know how you're not at least a little cynical 😂

Wouldn't benefit communities very much if he powers his empire cheaply, that only benefits him. The example isn't the point though, I just don't believe anyone that hoards wealth could be considered altruistic, they won't do anything to help others unless they're forced to.

I mean... I certainly can't put up solar powered satellites, I'm basically destitute. Your average millionaire couldn't either, though I already doubt they are good people with that much wealth. Only billionaires and governments would be able to achieve something like that.

Oh look, a useless negative reply to a useless negative comment. 😂

Also true, very fair point.

People who have the resources to build infrastructure like that are devoid of morals, that's the issue at the moment. Anyone with enough wealth and power to better the world is incapable of doing so.

Damn, I really want to be a space pirate now. 😂

Likely will only increase the gap between the rich and the poor.
