Why do Americans not plant or demand trees in their new suburbs?
Vietnam war trauma.
>>223993638I think they end up planting them later once more people live in the suburbs or something, that's at least what I'd seen with a few of these.
>>223993638because trees are commie o algo
>>223993652uff
>>223993638Americans literally get fined and/or imprisoned if they have trees.
Developers don't do it because its a waste of money. The residents don't do it because it costs money.
I've never seen a new development with no trees. Usually the builder does some basic landscaping and in a decade or two you have the top pic..
>>223993638minimalism
bottom is probably middle of the desert with no actual soil beneath the astroturf
>>223993652Kek
>>223994797It's the same town. Sioux Falls
>>223993638HOA is basically a boomer extortion racket and they do operate like a crime gang. And boomers being boomers, they fucking despise nature and greenery. And if you don't like it, they'll going to swat you. I saw a video of some random dude, who had a fucking APC called on him by HOA for refusing to mow his lawn.
>>223993993>moneyThis is the exact same reason why every new development in Europe looks so ugly and soulless. Just using cheap material and prefab parts to construct houses. Always painted in ugly whites and grays because it's the cheapest color. What has happened to cause this? I doubt people back in the day were less rational about money.
>>223993638>Why do Americans not plant or demand trees in their new suburbs?Developers also tear up old trees in older suburbs, trees reduce property value due to safety and maintenance issues.Yes developers will destroy everything in the name of profit.
>>223995119You can't always blame the developers if you're the ones paying them for it. The developers tear them down because they get more profit and they get more profit because YOU pay them more for the property if they tear down the trees.
>>223995049Nothing wrong with order.Order is based, as long as it's not developer cookie cutter slop and you have some green.
>>223995270and trees
>>223995315Would it kill them to paint their houses in colors other than white? Also, what's up with new housing being all built without picket fences?
>>223993993Trees increase property value though
>>223993638I assume it's not safe because of the constant hurricanes?
>>223995363>no fenceshigh trust>colorsgay
>>223995566>>no fences>high trustWhy no one values privacy?
>>223995624plant a hedge
>>223995624Fences make it harder for Mohammad to culturally enrich your home or the stasi to arrest you for having the wrong opinion
>>223995772
>>223993993I mean a nice neighborhood with trees could increase the price of the properties. It's really not that expensive.
>>223995860I look like this.
>>223995382>>223998595Yeah but trees also take years to grow, and people simply don't care that much to plant or care for a tree.
>>223993638Completely treeless neighborhoods are unironically a poor people thing. Affluent neighborhoods always have trees
>>223998896why do poor pepo hate trees?
>>223998896Affluent neighborhoods are old.
Most new developments include baby trees, you posted the absolute cheapest little shitter in Texas possible to "prove" a point
>>224000145Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
>>223993638verboten by the HOA
>>223995049>What has happened to cause this?Liberalism and global capitalism killed the values of the Old World. Believing in objective beauty makes you a chud now.
>>223998896They're not. Poor people can't afford new houses in the suburbs. Poor people live either in the cities in crappy apartments or in rural areas in old decaying places or trailer parks etc. Newly built suburbs are middle class areas.
>>224000645>a plains state... with few trees??>DER AMERIKAREICH IST DOOD
>>223993638Can you guys stop posting plains or desert suburbs? Almost every suburb in the US in an area with forests has trees. I get there's a hate boner for the Great Plains, yes it's an ugly flat land green desert like Mongolia, but people still live there.
>>224001469.. the old 'urb has trees tho?
>>223993638nature is communism or something
>>223993638>>223995049>buy farmland>build houses>no old big trees because it was a fucking farmlandbig mystery
>>224001652>ugly flat landdidn't say that, its sovl and settled by german americans>postingyeah tbf the new coastal ones seem to plant trees.
>>224001988The trees in coastal areas are easy to maintain, the plains get like no rainfall, trees require a lot of water you're basically choosing between farms or trees. If they did both extensively there would be more droughts than there already is.
As a treechad I couldn't do a cheap notrees development or a treeless western state. I'm in the Cincinnati/NKY area and it's basically a tropical rainforest here right now with trees out the ass, new build development. I have two in the front and planted two in the back myself, 10 foot gum trees that almost broke my back to put in lol.Most new builders beyond the absolute most bottom tier add trees along the street/sidewalk, they're just young and small.
>>223995566Fences are for low trust dogs
>>223993638They do but they'll look sterile like that until the trees have fully grown
>>223993638Dutch elm disease and emerald ash borer proved why that didn't work.
>>223993638i assumed they do it later and these are just newly built. anyway the thing isn't trees exactly but old, grown-in variety of plant life both on the nature strip and in front yards. plus nearby parks with the same. big trees are great too but often at odds with houses. they're essential if you want proper bird life as many birds won't go in small trees so they just won't exist in your area. there's some big trees in my neighbourhood. unfortunately one of them was cut down, not sure why maybe dying/hazardous. another big tree in the park got blown over in a storm. here's one in another suburb they straight up built the road around. this isn't uncommon but normally you would separate it from the road and have a kerb around it. i guess the street is too narrow in this case.
>>223993652>>223993753
>>223993638I think trees won't necessarily grow well
>>224002785Look at this chonker also in my cityThese guys aren't that tall, but they're pretty thick.
>>223998896rich neighborhoods have trees only in their yards, they don't have sidewalks with trees because they're elitist scumbags who don't want anyone walking through their neighborhood. that's why those are my favorite places to litter.
>>224002785>>224002978Doesn't that fuck up the roots?
>>223993652Gottem
>>224003238Aren't sidewalks the homeowners responsibility?
>>224002785>>224002978Nice trees. I like them.
>>223993993Just find some acorns and plant them. It won't be fast like with a sapling but it's gonna work on its own. Trees are hardy, they can manage without constant care.
>>224003356idk. they've been paved over for a while. they do push it up and crack it, we basically just let them. i've driven on some roads that are completely fucked by tree roots and no one has done anything about it.here's what these tree in a road things usually look like. no proper photos of this only google maps. it's in an industrial area too. i have no idea why these trees weren't chopped down a hundred years ago.
>>224001820You can plant as many trees as you want anywhere and they chose to plant zero that's the mysterious part. Building, buying and caring for a house is a huge commitment of time and money but that last 1% dedicated to trees and greenery is just too much man think of the insurance companies o algo
