Unfortunately, i live on the side of town and they planted palm trees all the way down the street. They look horrible. I mean, they look miserable. And they dont do anything as far as what they are taking out as far as carbon monoxide. Its kind of a weed. So it saddens me to see that we are taking this many trees out like wholesale.

The city of San Francisco needs to realize its tree protocol subject to Climate Change and take action or we wont be in a position to recover. Maam, thank you. Next. Welcome. Hi. My name is brook armstrong. I had a business in hayes valley for ten years. Ive been in San Francisco for almost 40. I have an issue of trust with the dpw. My business is on franklin street. And they just took down two large beautiful trees last week without notice. Its frustrating because two years ago they took down another tree in front of my building without notice and it remains a hole in the ground. So for two years they have not replaced that tree.
