Re: Why not real trees?

The lack of reliable cheap public transport has more to do with the volume of traffic than the width of the roads. The trucks have to use the roads any way. Be better to shift freight by rail but they don't. They tend to build bypasses and widen roads to accommodate the HGVs due to protests from residents on minor roads complaining of them using the roads as cut throughs.
