I have heard it alleged that Mayor Richard J. Daley chose the route for the Dan Ryan Expressway so it would provide a barrier between black and white southside Chicago neighborhoods. It’s a good thing it’s a lot easier to cut down some trees than it is to take down a highway.

To block wind and to give the perimeter of the golf course area the illusion of being in the middle of nature.

"...big bushy trees..."


That is precisely the topic of The Lorax written in 1972 by Dr. Seuss.

When I was in the Marine Corps in 1967 & 68, I would go camping up on Tahquitz Creek in those mountains and I must say that is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Anything that ruined my view of those mountains would upset me as well.

To block wind and to give the perimeter of the golf course area the illusion of being in the middle of nature. They also naturally often help to contain errant shots.

How many of these morons bought their property with the trees there? I’m thinking they didn’t complain the prices were too low when they bought in.

Leave the trees. What children pout about doesn’t have to concern the rest of us.

Stuff it!

There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees.

Under California Real Estate Law, you don’t have a “right” to a view.

Remove the racist trees so those white racist golf balls can rain down upon their neighborhood.

We need some bonafide SJW to provide a comprehensive list (Constitution) of what is racist, homophobic, etc. so we understand the rules.

Then let us know who judges “social justice”? Screwball tree huggers, feminazis, perverts, communists?

Then what are the punishments for violating SJ “law”? Redistribution of how much wealth, forced MSNBC viewing, higher taxes, forced vegan diets, mandatory organic Birkenstocks, or what?

>>>they believed the trees were planted for racist reasons<<<

Well, if you “believe” something it must be true, much like Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign in the 2016 Presidential Election.

What racist A-Hole thought that trees should be planted on a golf course when it was built?

Get rid of all those white golf balls, too.

No, white golf balls are good because they can be smacked around for minding their own business. Just like city polar bears.

First time in history ——> Old growth, healthy and beautiful trees diminish a property value.

LOL, they plant those trees so you won’t have golf balls through your windows. Now these folks will get to see how silly white folks live who want their houses right next to the fairway.
