Some cities wouldn't be the same without their tree canopy. Central Park wouldn't be Central Park without a tree canopy. Why would somebody trade that for development, no matter what kind of dollar signs they envisioned to go with it?
Not all development is inevitable, developers can be told to go fuck themselves like anybody else. A tree canopy isn't something to take for granted.

As long as you're not fighting the arsonist, there will just be more and more fires to fight. It's a lot like disarming bomb after bomb without knowing who's behind the bomb, who the bomber really is.

If fire was the only way to light a room, there wouldn't be electricity. Even a small fire from a candle left unattended can burn a house down and cause someone to lose everything, including their life.
A lot of people died before people realized that fire wasn't the kind of light they needed. Hope is for the weak, it wont help you walk. If you cant see something, you start to lose hope, you become hopeless. It takes faith in something you can't see (happening) to keep walking. Really, the clouds of smokes from the fires that were burning were only making people's worlds darker.

If you could disappear, why would that be negative? Why would you want someone to start caring where you were? Being invisible is not negative.

If you could disappear, why would that be negative? Why would you want someone to start caring where you were? That would defeat the point. Being invisible is not negative.
