That is the trick. I unfortunately see a lot of spots in our downtown area that had a tree at one point that never got replaced. I don't really understand why a Texas city wouldn't want trees all over the place.

Not to say they aren't doing some things with trees right. Dallas does have a lot of green space and the new parks in and around downtown do have a lot of trees. We just have to wait to see what is still there in 20 years.
