I live in a densely populated area. You are bad just really really bad at building things if you can’t even make a pavement without getting in a tree’s way.
I assure you that the experience of not having your infrastructure destroyed by trees because you didn’t build your infrastructure next to trees is absolutely universal. Having your infrastructure destroyed by trees because you put all your infrastructure in a fucking stupid place right next to a tree is also universal.
You do realize this entire conversation is about planting trees in urban areas, right?
And there’s literally an industry built around removing tree roots from drain lines. You’re lucky that your trees haven’t fucked things up yet, but live in that house long enough and they will.
I’m not saying trees are bad, I’m saying trees are bad to plant next to streets and sidewalks because the root systems they grow cause significant damage. If you’ve never seen the impact of tree roots on roads and sidewalks, you need to pay more attention to your surroundings.
I live in an urban area, in a house slightly over 200 years old - I promise you the trees aren’t going to suddenly cause a problem now.

And i’m saying you’re a fucking idiot who doesn’t know anything, doesn’t try the most basic techniques to build around the trees instead of on top of them, then starts crying about how the mean trees are destroying everything. Some 10 metres from my door a tree is growing directly out of the pavement and hasn’t destroyed it because it was given plenty of embankment space to grow into instead.
Don’t cry that I don’t know what I’m saying just because you’ve never experienced properly built infrastructure.
If you can’t build them without getting in a trees was you don’t deserve them. I have loads of trees on my street and they’re not destroying anything.
Well good for you, but in many densely populated areas trees fuck these things up as well as destroy pavements and bike paths.
