This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

The usual rules apply:

I live in an urban area, in a house slightly over 200 years old - I promise you the trees aren't going to suddenly cause a problem now.

I'm saying trees are bad to plant next to streets and sidewalks because the root systems they grow cause significant damage.

And i'm saying you're a fucking idiot who doesn't know anything, doesn't try the most basic techniques to build around the trees instead of on top of them, then starts crying about how the mean trees are destroying everything. Some 10 metres from my door a tree is growing directly out of the pavement and hasn't destroyed it because it was given plenty of embankment space to grow into instead.

Don't cry that I don't know what I'm saying just because you've never experienced properly built infrastructure.

Your reading comprehension really is bad.

The conversation is about PLANTING TREES, not building near them.

nerd "erm smacktually the original context was fractionally different"

Shut up loser, all you've done is thrown out blind accusations that I live somewhere special and isolated because you can't imagine competently built infrastructure. Doesn't matter if you plant or build first, the infrastructure goes AROUND the plants, not UNDER them.
