What's the next study? Kids live on streets lined with Ferraris have lower asthema rate than kids on live on streets lined with Fords? Trees produce pollens and Ferraris produce hydrocarbon-rich exhaust, both cause asthema . . . however, neither can compare to long term exposure to household mold, which the wealthier parents are more capable of getting rid of (say, buying and running a duhumidifier or not living in a poorly insulated basement apartment to begin with) than the poor parents can.

Boston and my home town, Baltimore, have some great streets with relatively high density and trees. They don't have to be mutually exclusive- and trees aren't just good for kids' asthma, they do a lot for the mental health of adults too.
