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.
