Hmm? I love palm trees. It’s just that I’ve lived in LA most of my life, and remember being taught that most of the palm trees in Los Angeles were imported decades ago. I also recall some dust up about the palms dying, and them being replaced by birch (? maybe some other kind) trees that provided more shade, and some other such. Even mean people think healthy palm trees are pretty. The ones I lived by in K-Town were kind of sketchy, but that whole neighborhood is a dive.
Maybe three or four years ago, I saw some new palm trees being planted along Hollywood Blvd. I wonder where those came from. Too lazy to find out.
