The value of the tree ironically does go up a lot over time. But it’s still the value of the tree. The value of everything else is still a cost and that is EXACTLY THE POINT I MADE. The cost of the tree is insignificant compared to the house and you’re hotel bills.
Reading comprehension… It’s a glorious thing, and lost on Americans.
My fellow lemming. You made a terse comment that was prone to misinterpretation. People misinterpreted it.
I see what you’re trying to say, and I see how people are understanding it differently than you may have intended.
I’m not saying your underlying message was wrong, certainly a rusted old bridge is momentarily not worth the same money that it was when it was installed, but that’s not how you seem to have been interpreted.
I won’t tell you what to do, but if I may make a suggestion: it may be prudent to be a little less terse.
Someone said replacing the bridge would cost billions and you called them out saying that it’s rusty and decaying.
And the value of trees is a complicated subject. A significant part of my life is dealing with trees and the laws surrounding them for a municipal government.
Nobody is disputing that.

Have a good day.
The point you made?
