Full title: California city promises to remove 50-foot-tall ‘racist’ trees planted in the 1960s that separate a historically black neighborhood from a golf course

There were a lot of golf courses where I lived and they have racist trees planted at pretty much all of them, not only to block the view but to keep the houses from being plonked by golf balls.

Another example that California is becoming more of an asylum by the day. Now trees can be evil according to Californians.

I was going to same the same thing. Every golf course I have seen that has borders next to residential areas always has giant trees and tall fences. It’s a safety precaution.

I don’t play any more due to health problems. But taking trees off courses would have cut strokes off my handicap. BTW, are any of the people living in that tract members? Wait till they get the bill in their dues to remove them. The city and state aren’t going to help unless they take it out of their funds. Fat chance.

You didn’t read the entire article, The trees are removed, up goes a fence and on top of that netting to catch the off course golf balls. And of course, also “new trees.” All brought to you by the first “all queer” city council in CA. Palm Springs has become “Hot Springs.”

next they will be complaining their houses are being hit with golf balls and want some sort of protection put up without blocking view.

Crossley wasn’t a black neighborhood then. I grew up in Palm Springs. Those supporting this are not natives.

Replace with poison ivy, poison oak, and Toxicodendron vernicifluum.

“an invasive species”

Odd choice of words as Communists push for reconquista and Islamic imperialism in Caliphony.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just remove white people?

Interesting. Most larger cities and counties in Kalifornia have a “heritage tree” ordinance. Does not matter what kind of a tree if it is bigger than a certain size a permit is required to cut it down. Very onerous process to get a permit.

Exactly!

Now they’ll sue when someone, perhaps a child, gets injured by a golf ball, or if one does some damage to their cars.

Personally, I would rather see trees, which clean the air, than a golf course. There’s more privacy.

Often, fences make good neighbors.

Do people in that neighborhood seriously not want trees as a buffer between them and the golf course?

...an invasive species that blocks views of both the golf course and the San Jacinto mountains...

You live in a desert! Nothing grows there! Every tree is an invasive species.

“50-foot-tall ‘racist’ trees planted in the 1960s”

Radicalized by the black inferiorists who were raised to hate them.

The decision to remove the golf course and golfers comes after neighborhood residents complained that the annoying golfers would always be looking at them in their houses as they ride by in their golf carts.

Hmmm.... I would have thought the invasion of queers was the primary factor lowering property values
