Palm Trees

It's been talked about for ages, but as a person originally from Los Angeles, I feel I should acknowledge the issue.

They're probably getting rid of a lot of palm trees in Los Angeles.

Age, disease, money problems... these issues cause the downfall of many personalities and now it's the palm trees' turn. Yes yes yes, we're aware that most of the world equates palm trees with Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard, and Los Angeles. But they're not indiginous to the area. They don't even really process much carbon monxide from the air... and that's kind of important in a car culture. They were brought in for show and to symbolize the easy life. Since they've become so iconically equated with LA, it looks like they did a good job.
