The city is adding many, many shade trees. It's great, love it; but not at the expense ... of palm trees. This statement from Mayor Meiner illustrates the city's tension between enhancing urban shade while supporting property owner's autonomy and preferences for palm trees.
Environmental advocates express concern, stating, 'Two palms does not a large tree make, in terms of ecological benefits,' highlighting the ecological drawbacks of favoring palm trees over larger canopy trees which provide more shade and cooling benefits to the urban environment.
