[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't DPR promise that none of the mature oak trees would be cut for a swimming pool?  Yet this week, workers have cut down at least one healthy willow oak.  DC's tree canopy is shrinking.  Is this just DC government ineptitude or dissembling?[/quote]

FALSE! DC's tree canopy is growing. You cannot create facts to suit your agenda. I'm sure you're offended when another horrible individual does exactly that. Oh, but that's different, right?...[/quote]

DC’s tree canopy declined 2 percent in the last 4 years.  Less than some other US cities, but not enviable either.

Saving the legacy oaks at Hearst Park needs to be DPR’s top priority at that location.[/quote]

You remain wrong. See, for example: https://caseytrees.org/tree-species/dc-tree-canopy/. A quote: "Since the inception of Casey Trees in 2002, D.C.’s tree canopy has been steadily increasing."

As for your made-up statistic, how about "The District’s current canopy coverage is 38 percent resulting in an A grade. This reflects a two percent increase from 2015." (https://caseytreesdc.github.io/treereportcard2018/?_ga=2.146599793.456375350.1563992670-941858029.1563992670)

I'm confident you shrivel at the thought of POTUS making up stuff (and rightly so!), yet here you do it just the same. Spare me. [/quote]
