An individual who can preform car repairs and maintenance for a fraction of the cost if those same services were done at a dealership. The Shade Tree Mechanic, more commonly known simply as "Shade Tree" is very knowledgeable of how to service most domestic vehicles manufactured before 1995. Any vehicle manufactured after 1995 and import vehicles in particular are problematic for Shade Tree; however, Shade Tree will tell you otherwise.
Shade Tree operates from his own driveway or in front of his house on the street. Ideally, the service work is preformed beneath a tree with a large canopy providing necessary shade during hot summer days hence, the title "Shade Tree."
Be advised, the Shade Tree does not possess any metric tools, uses vise-grip pliers in practically every repair situation and will require you make multiple trips to the auto parts store to replace things inadvertently damaged by the apologetic Shade Tree during the service repair process.
Most shade trees will barter and accept various forms of payment including cash, a carton of cigarettes, liquor, Wendy's or Burger King.

Joe: I need new brakes for my car but the dealership wants over $400.00
Mike: Bruh, go around the corner and holla at that Shade Tree Mechanic. He'll hook you up for a pack of squares and some Chick-fil-A.

Friend one: dude. I want to smoke this joint, but I don't want to stink up my car.
Friend two: just hang a tree, I promise it never smells

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.
