Trees are nothing but obstacles to traffic. If you take a good look at cities, you will see that they were built for cars, and cars alone. Anything that's not a car has no place in a city.
Even for the US, I think the worst part is that they're not an obstacle to traffic, but they're an extra expense plus they block those huge ads from roadside businesses.
Americans are making many of their roads and towns/cities hell just to penny pinch.
Well, this isn't Reddit, so many we could have less sarcasm? Sarcasm isn't accessible even with text tags and doesn't help move the discussion forward.
Depends, people keep saying stuff about “Europe” as if it’s some single monolithic place.
In any case very few people live in old town houses built prior to the late 19th century (in those places have their own issues) and there was plenty of car centric development during the 1950s and subsequent decades.
