Devastation


Our beautiful boulevard has Dutch Elm Disease. They have taken out five trees in the last week and it just uglifies the landscape around here. What hurts the most is that the city didn't notify any of us that this was about to happen.
We're forming a neighborhood group to figure out what to do next. The City says it doesn't have the funds to plant trees back, but I can't imagine this place without trees. At the most cynical, our property values have just dropped a good $50k a piece.
