I would expect nothing less from you. I've passed on your suggestion to Mayor Slay's office and I am told that a press release to unveil "Project Redwood" is forthcoming. St. Louis could use more bright minds like yours. Kudos. Thank you for your insightful, and though provoking comment. I would expect nothing less from you.

The tree tops are high enough that they do not obscure views except from the tallest buildings and logging after several thousand years would generate huge profits for the city. If planted correctly they could be used as giant demolition tools in blighted neighborhoods creating a huge savings during eminent domain landgrabs for the construction of Super Walmarts.

They make horrible street trees too - their foliage is way too dense and blocks out the buildings behind it. Cherokee Street, for example, would look way better with some new trees. I totally agree.
