Analysis
Marisa concludes that zoning regulations must be loosened because they’re reducing property values in undeveloped areas. Her choice of language—“property values” and “undeveloped”—suggests that her concern is monetary value.
Tyne’s conclusion is that zoning regulations don’t need to be loosened, because such regulations are needed in order to better preserve the value of natural areas. He also refers to value, but his language—”natural” and “undisturbed”—suggests that he’s referring to non-monetary value (spiritual, ecological, psychological, et al.), unlike Marisa.

a
regulations
Each time the word “regulations” is used (once by Marisa and once by Tyne), it’s referencing to the same zoning regulations. There’s no misunderstanding of this word.
b
development
Each time the word “development” is used (once by Marisa and once by Tyne), it’s used to reference building things on land. There’s no misunderstanding of this word.
c
prohibitive
When Marisa says “prohibitive,” she means it as in limiting the reach of development. When Tyne addresses this, he uses the word “restrict” with the same meaning. There’s no misunderstanding of this word.
d
values
This matches our analysis. Marisa uses “values” to mean monetary, and when Tyne replies, he is describing non-monetary value.
e
significantly
Tyne disagrees with Marisa, but he doesn’t misunderstand what she means by “significantly.” There’s nothing in Tyne’s response to suggest that he understood this word to mean anything other than what Marisa meant.
