[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]In DC, it's the so-called "smart growth" development lobby that has de-prioritized green space protection[/b].  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]

WTH are you talking about?

One of the main components of smart growth is building in areas that are already developed to preserve areas that are not.

Can you provide examples of actual green space in DC that has been converted to new housing?[/quote]
