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.
So it’s the trees lowering property values? Message to wacko environmentalists: Even you take a back seat when the favored groups speak up these days. Message to golfers: Start carrying in your golf bag.
Now racist golf balls will hit their houses.
CA is a big joke. Along with HI, it needs to secede and join Venezuela.
If they had planted BLACK WALNUT trees there would be no problem.
The US Left’s “Anti-Racist” crusade resembles Soviet groupthink more with every day. The Bolsheviks politicized everything - whether it was science or music or sports or gardening or going for a walk in the woods - it had to be presented as a “Revolutionary” or “Proletarian” activity, as opposed to “Reactionary” or “Bourgeois” activity. Similarly, the Antifa ideologues see everything in the world (even trees now, apparently) through the filter of “Diversity and Multiculturalism” vs. “Bigotry and Racism.” The content is slightly different, but it’s based on the same totalitarian mentality.
President Trump should declare the trees a National Monument!!
Thought their list of complaints would be they were planted for hangings.
They also make good windbreaks.
What I really took from this story is the utter lack of moderation. That is, trees: all stay or all go.
Why? If they just removed every other tree, or two out of three trees, it would achieve the same end, that is, a view of the golf course. And the same idea applies to the fence. Why eliminate it, if just by shortening it, it would still keep out most animals, but could readily be overcome by people?
They’re saying the trees are hurting their property values?
Wait’ll that big net goes up to protect their homes from golf balls.
Mostly the trees planted in such locations were for wind breaks.
I read the other day the entire of the new Palm Springs City Council is comprised of alternative lifestyle sorts. This article causes me to reflect upon the sanity of the lot.
After reading the article I agree the trees must go. They are an invasive species of Tamarisk trees also known as SALT CEDARS.
They will suck the last bit of moisture out of the ground and have been the cause of drying out of river beds all over the Southwestern states.
Good luck killing them out. They are tenacious and will resprout as bad as Johnson grass.
Just call them “Robert E. Lee Trees.”
They are planted mainly to protect property and people who live and work near the golf course. These people are stupid.
White birch trees?
And those defending the trees are Birchers?
And the offspring trees today that cause such a ruckus are sons of birches?
