@preshdkumar @Jason Nice job @Jason great pushback. The conversation becomes boring and meaningless if the point is to do a tech circle jerk. The general sentiment the populace has towards Facebook is low but the execs are surrounded by sycophants so they don't reflect and course correct.

@Vivek4real_ If his tech is so good why can't we use it to win the war in Iran?

@levelsio Try CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plants - Snake Plant would be a good one to test. They release oxygen and absorb CO2 at night.

@bryan_johnson "Most honest biomarker we have" says the guy who has undergone numerous facial procedures like botox and fat grafting, has veneers and uses hair dye. OK

@Afinetheorem I live in SLO. No locals want to see it turn into the bay or LA. The California coast is plenty developed. And the city is getting developed by condos and new suburbs already so you can chill. If you want it turn into Santa Barbara, then move to SB, same weather

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.

A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.

Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.

So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.

The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.

The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.

Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.
