You have a good point, I wish more people would acknowledge that most of the trees in the city are part of a synthetic and man-made environment that we have created, not "nature". Not that there is anything wrong with modifying our environment within the city. There's no doubt that trees serve a lot of purposes and make parts of the city more pleasant for people. But they're everywhere!!! There is not one neighborhood where one can go to escape the tyranny of trees in this city. I miss the streets of New York City that were beautiful and alive and absent of vegitation.
