You folks dont realize that in new contructions all the trees are typically cleared anyway. You are being a bit shortsighted not understanding that in old neighbor hoods the trees were planted and grew.
St. Charles then, young trees where planted;
A long time later, mature trees:
Any home or neighborhood you consider great now, with lots of old trees, were likely cleared at time of construction.

Eh, I lived in the Heights in Houston for 2 years, and I didn't feel it was this prevalent. Houston is pretty much the model of success for minimal zoning.

Not always they're not. Selective cutting is a necessity, but not clear cutting and putting homes in a field they aren't.

I love craftsmen and bungalow style homes, that is why I bought a house that was built in 1938
of course, a lot of people do not want to deal with the maintenance of an old house, so they build in the new suburbs which have the restrictions.
It is much, much more expensive to buy an acre not in a suburb and build your own floorplan.
and the class brick suburban house is called "Dallas style", so...

Thing is that neighborhood have a much shorter lifespan these days, the areas that were "new" 20 years are no longer desirable. There's a new neighborhood 3 miles down the road.

See St. Charles Ave. One of the most beautiful stretches in the country. It was cleared.

Perhaps NOLA is the exception as all the land has been taken since about 1978.

Thats my point. Suburbs must be for new money crappy home folks.

I realize that. It just isn't necessary to nail every damn tree to build a neighborhood. You can still work around selected old growth to build without a real issue. It just may take a little more planning and people don't want to jack with that. It's easier to clearcut, that's why.

For instance they were required to have a wall of vinal siding when they wanted all brick
That is strange. A lot places won't allow vinyl siding.

This home is in The Heights. It is listed for $968K
This home is in Katy. It is listed for $876K.
I prefer living in the burbs where I can get more bang for my buck

are you really trying to compare the track homes in today's suburbs to the homes on St. Charles?
