Few things about trees in cities: (1) tree roots ruin sidewalks because they upend that stuff; (2) tree roots get into and ruin infrastructure, (3) not every curb can sustain a tree, so these could fit where a tree could not; and (4) they damage stuff when they fall over in storms.

Crazy thought - instead of just putting trees near curbs, have dedicated green spaces in cities where there aren't sidewalks or other important infrastructure near the trees.

Parks? Gross. I like parking lots.

How about multi level parking garages teeming with algae?

Why not both green spaces (central park anyone?) and these alge pods everywhere else?

I think the current plan is to simply depopulate the United States through fiscal policies and have everyone move back to Europe.
