    Mr Sholom Goldstien I think its terrible, walk around Ch you will see the side walk ripped apart around the tree’s roots, it gets worse the city makes the home owner liable for the broken sidewalk, another issue is Hundreds of people are killed each year from falling tree’s and Billions in damages. just a few weeks ago 2 jews were killed in brooklyn from a tree falling on them.

    STOP THIS NOW!!

  • great

    next time we have a major storm maybe someone will get killed by a falling tree!!

    and we need these trees because? someone needs a job?

  • trees a waste in every way

    and we need these trees because? because we have extra money and don’t know what to do with

  • duvid

    Bloomberg would be happy if someone dies from a falling tree as long as they didnt die from french fries or big soda or guns

  • wow 3&4!

    ignorant fools

    more trees = more clean air = healthier people = less sickness = longer lives

    stop looking for things to complain about

  • give me a tree any day

    Hello? Do people really think that living in a concrete / brick / sandstone jungle is normal??? Trees beautify the neighborhood, cool the environment, add oxygen to the air, absorb CO2, increase property values. What is this fear of trees??!! Maybe we should tear down Central Park and Prospect Park, because someone might be hit by a falling branch?! Yes, old trees do need to be trimmed or removed. More people are killed / injured by cars — let’s get rid of all cars!
