Enough already! I say all of the trees in downtown should be cut and used for firewood. Better yet, we could use the wood to build more houses. To make matters worse, there's been a "go-green" phenomenon sweeping the city, encouraging people to plant even more trees in every square inch of available ground. Do we really want trees everywhere? This has really gotten out of control. You can't park anywhere downtown these days without finding sap and leaves stuck to your windshield. And why give all the little birdies so many places to perch, just waiting to leave their little "gifts" all over your hood? Moreover, in a city known for its splendid architecture, you can't even see the buildings because the view is blocked by these ancient trees! So that’s why I say bring on the chainsaws. Just think how nice it will be to walk in the summer sun without all that blasted shade everywhere. It sure would be nice actually to see the city around us without the distraction of nature.
