Developer in our town is redeveloping a parcel that used to be a Catholic school. The developer wanted to remove the tree because it was in the way, but a lot of people in town protested . I guess now everyone is happy?
Maybe they should scan for unmarked graves, too…
I also expected something far worse than a mutilated tree when I read „catholic…“

I’ve heard Wranglerstar on YouTube talk about that book. He’s quite a character.
Beloved, his character arc has been interesting to watch
Won’t most of the tree grow back after construction finishes? I’ve seen trees severely cut back and after a couple years it’s almost impossible to tell.
It’s a silver beach. They are usually planted in front of grand estates and after 100 years, they have a huge crown and massive trunk. There’s no way this is coming back.
That depends on tree species and damage.
Willow tree would probably survive that without a problem, most other trees won’t. Some could be saved with appropriate protective measures, like trimming the roots.
There’s currently a similar fight to save a massive, old red cedar in Seattle. I haven’t been part of the protests, but I hope the protesters win (not holding my breath about it). There’s no reason the tree can’t be developed around other than developers’ greed.

Map of my life basically.
I’m doing pretty good in terms of resolving old trauma, and I’ve got a little financial stability finally, but social and love life are nil.
All I see is a happy tree waving at me
This tree is trying to hail a taxi.

That killed the tree’s wife.

Why is this downvoted so much? Most of them literally get rich from tax money and do nothing but save costs and raise prices, fuck them!
