[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]

The tree that was taken down was diseased. Please don't spread false information.[/quote]

But that's what obstructionists do. I'll bet $100 the poster hates Trump (again, for good reason). And, yet, here we see him/her making up authoritative sounding statistics like the tree canopy decreasing by 2% in the last four years and complaining about a tree being cut down as part of a grand conspiracy on pool pushers.

I think that you have your potential political alignments off.  It's Trump who doesn't give a damn about trees or land conservation.  In DC, it's the so-called "smart growth" development lobby that has de-prioritized green space protection.  Indeed, one of the smart growth lobby's social media consultants is a partner in the firm that advised Trump on media and polling in 2016.[/quote]
