urban chainsaw massacre

[Joshua]

Here is an article about the sad state of English street trees.

When I used to work in London people would often say things like
"whats the easiest way to kill a tree ? I want get rid of that tree because its dropping leaves on my car etc." Ignorant b*astards.
Then you would get greif from eco-warriors saying "stop butchering those trees" when all that was was being done was reductions, same as had been done for years.
Morons.

Seems like the UK has lost a lot of big healthy trees because of insurance issues and idiots !

The same thing is happening in Austin, but here the big developers are more to blame:
