Trees as Landmarks in San Francisco! We're not kidding!
A reader asks:I just heard something crazy from a friend of mine. Is there really a push in San Francisco to allow the City to designate certain trees as landmarks, even on private property?
Our reply:
You're surprised to hear this? Given the nature of San Francisco politics, this is an easy one to believe. It all started when a homeowner wanted to remove a cypress tree on his property. It just so happened that there is a flock of wild parrots in this area of Telegraph Hill that uses the cypress trees to roost. Although the tree is one of many, it became and issue and is now under review to become law. Although it is not clear if the City will participate in the maintenance of these "landmarks"; in the end, the property owner will probably be responsible.
