Cutting down trees

There is more yap on here about tree cutting from people who don't really know what they are talking about.
Yes, we have cut too many forests down in this country and have poorly replaced them, especially since one can never replace the fauna and flora and watersheds that went with them.
However, that is a general statement. Places like Peachtree City need to have some terrible trees cut and destroyed (such as the crappy pine, sweet gum, etc.) and replaced with low pollen trees.
Arizona used to be the place to go to breathe healthy air, so millions went and took their stupid pollin trees with them! Now Arizona is one of the worst for allergies.
Every area needs to be handled according to its needs.
As to the clearance for the signs in Georgia, well, that is typical of the conservative thinking---do everything possible for business. You might get more votes!

Arizona is not the worst for allergies. Arizona has very good air. You are the same person who does not like big stores and you do not like trees and are willing to kill them.
