starts it off by talking about compairing the past to the present
doesnt just say bigger uses actual numbers to back claim
has proof for the numbers
gets to the topic of teardowns
more facts with number backings
uses dallas as an example
talks about the different size yards
brings up how the larger homes increase property value and force lower income people out
i fell like since starting to look at research ive become less biased and feel like i can see the other sides more and can actually hold an argument without letting emotions take over
“Original homes in my neighborhood
occupied about a third of their rectangular lot. This design
permitted a sizable back yard with room for a small one-car
garage as well as an inviting front lawn where children could
play.” ive seen this first hand. we lived in an newer neighbor hood and had no land, we then moved to an older house and now actually have a yard.
