@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC sigh
City streets are not specifically for cars. Freeways aren't even specifically for cars (buses, trucks), but city streets in particular are definitely not just for cars.
Tree roots are a solved problem. Lots of city master plans and similar documents have a list of trees allowed in the public right-of-way that have root systems compatible with sidewalks and roads. Some trees have roots that buckle concrete, others have roots that don't. Choose wisely.

@Andres4NY @claralistensprechen5th @ECEC Trees were here first. Streets (pavement) are an attempt to tame the world. The arrogance of thinking we (humans) can & should assert our will over the world is the problem; street trees are a solution.

...except they are not. What you're in favor of is no cities. Not gonna happen.-
@claralistensprechen5th @rejinl @ECEC She said 'street trees', which are have shown clear benefits to dense cities all over the world. They're incompatible with on-street parking, though.

I was simply answering the "stupid question" part, so there's that.
