Because discussing ways to plant more trees isn’t as provocative as fictional attitude.
Lack of focus and problem solving skills.
Not everything.
Redlining is though
It is what the story says. And now there is a nascent movement afoot to shift from single family to multi family and build more tenements.
Because “nobody needs that much.”
Well, it’s important to know why we should plant more trees, right?
Otherwise some might complain about spending money unwisely.
Jezcoe: NJBob: FloridaYankee:Lack of trees in cities is really bad and exacerbates the heat island effect, a lot.
A recent article in the NYT analyzed this in depth. The number of urban trees in any neighborhood, even in the same city, had a direct correlation with income level.
Yep… green areas have been historically lacking in the poorest neighborhoods.
NYC has a million tree program to plant one million additional trees in the city over a 10 year period. A quarter of which are to be street trees.

Not everything.

I hadn’t heard they already reached the goal. Good news.

Why did only minorities end up in those neighborhoods and not in nicer neighborhoods?
