Heard a woman on the radio yesterday morning saying there's less crime where there are trees as an argument for planting more trees. I wanted to shout out to the woman that correlation doesn't equate with causation. A tree or two planted in the neighbourhood will not deter criminals, but building houses in leafy suburbs will increase the prices of said houses, putting them out of the price range of most criminals.
What with my back, I suspect there's more than a bit of chimp in me. Hay agrees.
