I'm getting broiled out here because there is such an aversion to shade and trees in the US.

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t

There is also a webpage. With words.

I found myself explaining the Urban Heat Island to a cop a few nights ago after a lady in the neighborhood called the cops on me for planting trees on city property next to her house.

I can get behind planting more trees, but it sounds like they just started planting them on city-owned land without permission? I somehow doubt an argument with a cop about how great the trees will be is going to get them out of that.

I really appreciate written words over video.

That post made me angry at how stupid the built environment is in most places.
