[quote=FlyerInHi]I agree that trees can grow in San Diego.
There are beautiful trees in San Diego, but few whole streets like in LA. Generally speaking, the upscale neighborhoods of LA have nicer trees.[/quote]
The neighborhood we used to live in here in SD County had trees lining the streets, just like in LA. This was told to me by our neighbor who was an original occupant. When I asked what happened to all the trees (only about 4-5 trees were left, including the one in front of our house and the one across the street), he smiled and said: We all cut them down because the leaves were so dirty. Since then, I’ve heard this excuse from many others who’ve cut down beautiful, mature trees. It’s disgusting.
In general, the fewer trees there are in a neighborhood, the worse that neighborhood is. Look at the “good” communities here (or in LA, though the difference in less stark), and you’ll see a higher-than-average number of large, mature trees.
