Tree Holocaust

The City of Portland evidently sanctioned a tree holocaust on the corner of Omaha and Jessup.  If you haven't seen the destruction, wander down and prepare to get sick.  They took down all of the trees on the lot - including four magnificent sequoia trees - the likes of which we will never see again in our lifetimes.

Woe unto the City of Portland and this builder.  I can't even bring myself to take a picture of the violence done to this lot.  The City of Portland is preparing for density (and making short-term one-time big money off of it as well) and our neighborhood and nature is all the less livable because of it.  I don't even want to think about how many displaced birds and critters there are because of that destruction, especially during the winter where the conifers provide some of the best shelter in the ongoing storms we've had over the last few weeks.
