Enjoy the mosquitos
I’m only conjecturing, but there may be cities where planting trees isn’t feasible due to density of the city and the surrounding infrastructure. It may be cheaper to use these in place of trees, though I admit I know nothing about what’s pictured.
I like the innovation this, it could lead to another and better idea.
Also what are the chance that once they're deployed, somebody run into one on the first day? Pretty good I bet.
pro que no los dos?
This is like 15 years out of date.
@ECEC
Any city manager could tell you everything wrong with having trees downtown.
* Birds get into them and when they're nesting, they attack anybody walking by
*Birds also shit on the cars parked under them, and most drivers look for shade to park under
*Bugs get into them and attract birds when birds aren't nesting
*Trees drop sap, which also ruins a car's finish
*city workers have to spend time on the clock keeping the leaves picked up off the ground
Yeah, the drawback is that the algae don't provide shade.
