I found myself explaining the Urban Heat Island to a cop a few nights ago after a lady in the neighborhood called the cops on me for planting trees on city property next to her house.














Yeah. Seems they don’t want to deal with trees falling over in ~50 years.
School’s playground had to cut some down due to $local_tree_issue. They didn’t want to replant due to possible construction in 5 years. Also, no shade cloths as they fail in a small number of years.
