My town lets you request street trees be planted anywhere you can keep an eye on them and water if needed. I am responsible for four trees on my block, and just requested three more. It's great to know that I'm literally throwing shade.
@danielpunkass meanwhile, the state is in charge of the medians where I live (VA), and they won't plant trees upon request. If *I* want to plant trees, I need to have them covered by liability insurance and sign a form saying I'm responsible for them, their maintenance, and any damage they cause for as long as they live. ... So, no trees for me. :(
@b3thv3 ugh!
