trees drop branches and shit. you have to spend money on cleaning that up.
iirc this was the reason none of the neighboring towns had any trees on the streets when i lived in NJ. the place we lived had trees, but it also had higher land taxes. and its own school, no bussing.
i think it was as close to a gated community as you could possibly get without gates.
That's literally just running a trimmer down the roads once a month though ffs. Nobody even has to get out of a seat for it. The same people mowing all that grass can do it in exactly the same amount of time. aaaaaaaaa
what if there's a storm and a branch falls and damages someone's private property tho? god's wrath will overflow because private property is sacred, and the town might be liable for damages.
Wtf is the point of doing this? Those are damn nice fucking trees and a lot of them could be left there with no issues at all.
It just flattens out the entire landscape into something horrible. There was probably a shitload of wildlife that lived in those trees too.
Can’t wrap your oversized pickup truck around a tree if the tree doesn’t exist :very-smart:
but how will i see those golden arches from 3 miles away?
