While Nigel Satterley and his weekend tours of his estates have a lot of the blame for the farce that is WA property development. I'm glad this article highlighted the individuals attitude problem in regards trees.
So many people I know love to cut a tree down, and for the smallest reason. That its messy, in their way, blocks their view, they're sprinting for the chainsaws.
I spoke to someone who lives in Bushmead estate where the development has kept a fair amount of trees. And they were complaining about leaves on the road, and in their yard! As if thats a reasonable issue to warrant choppin the trees down. The leaves probably gather so much as a result of the small block big house regime creating brick corridors.
The housing design in WA is so wrong for our wider life. Good article!
