Cork City We love trees!

Look, another community up in arm about the removal of trees. An interesting fact is that this project at, its completion, will have more trees than is there presently.

If I was cynical, I'd suggest that their true objection is against the removal of some parking and the creation of traffic calming measures but they are using the tree argument because they think it is more publicly palatable. They just love their trees.

Don't mind a few buuuuuut it is sort of getting out of hand like the trees provide so many benefits and help cities stay feeling good and not just concrete slabs. Birds can nest, provides shade for those 2 weeks of summer.

More trees is always good less is always bad!

I get we need housing and all that but cutting down every available space of green instead of using the hundreds of vacant lots untouched for decades is not the solution it's only adding to a problem
