They need to plant real trees and not these little Twigs held by opposing wire hooks on sticks. they're going to be vandalized and killed within weeks!

Second, no point in planting trees in front of vacant land about to get redeveloped.

Yeah those skinny trees look silly. But now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen mature trees get planted. I'm sure it's done but I imagine there are good reasons why it's not more common. Probably more expensive (bigger equipment needed to transport, larger openings in the ground/sidewalk, etc.) and perhaps there are greater risks from a arboricultural standpoint of the tree surviving.
