Racist Trees

Post by Leisher »

Being removed.

I play a lot of golf. I've never been on a course that didn't have trees and fences between houses and the course somewhere on the course. Typically, these are not considered racist, but because one side or the other doesn't want the view, or they're restricting access, or they're protecting the houses, etc.

There may be some historical significance to this row of trees, but otherwise, this is a Political Correctness over-correction.

The article certainly implies it.

Residents said the invasive tamarisks, which block views of the Tahquitz Creek Golf Course and San Jacinto mountains, have artificially depressed property values and prevented black families from accumulating wealth in their property over the past half century.

They should share the story, unless it's the depreciation thing, in which case, JLaw is correct.
