If you are going to to move in an area, why destroy what makes it different? But this raises a different point. Does the absence of this constituency devalue the area (because not all people going there are cutting trees)?

"Others" really don't appreciate well planned living zones and the neighbourhood effect that it brings. Quote:The Karen and Lang’ata District Residents’ Association has accused Nakuru nominated MCA Alice Ndegwa of illegally putting up hostels in the area.
Zoning rules in the area do not allow multiple-storey buildings. The site is near the Lang’ata South Road, 300 metres from the Nairobi Academy. A resident said, “She is targetting students from the Catholic University of Easten Africa and Tangaza College. These hostels will crowd the area and destroy the serene environment.”

It's good to respect zoning laws.. Why wouldn't Alice settle for two stories instead of multiple.. The way we do things in Kenya shows impunity thrives

Greenery is the biggest distinguishing feature of Nairobi's suburbs. If someone wants to chop down trees aende Mombasa Road kujenga. It's even cheaper to leave the trees alone, so cutting them is a sign that someone is just classless beyond redemption
