Shade tree equality

[TroglocratsRdumb]

A report on alleged systemic racism released Wednesday and greenlit by Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for the planting of trees statewide “to create shade equity” and reduce “heat islands in black neighborhoods.”
“Nationally, formerly redlined areas consistently show hotter temperatures than other areas,” the report states. “Therefore, climate change is certain to exacerbate existing, historically-codified disparities that track existing housing-related harms experienced by African Americans.”
“In particular, so-called ‘heat islands,’ which will worsen due to climate change, exist where built-up urban areas have few trees, vegetation or parks that serve to dissipate or reflect heat, and instead have pavement and building materials that absorb and retain it,” the report also notes.

The Left thinks that single family homes are white racism

If you were luck enough to catch the Smithsonian Museum’s exhibit on “whiteness and white culture,” you’d know that two things that are associated with whiteness are the nuclear family and the single-family home. It’s one of the reasons Black Lives Matter put “disrupting the nuclear family” in...

This is in conflict with California's plan to abolish single family house construction.
The Left loathes the suburbs and suburbanites.
They call the green lawns and trees in the suburbs "white racism".
Shade Tree Equality is another absurd liberal grievance.

Newsome will spend millions on planting trees in city streets and they'll die because no one waters them.

They had better be cactuses or trees native to the SoCal environment, because it's not a question of not watering, it's a question of not having the water at all.

This whole systemic racism lie has taken on a life of its own. Now trees are racist. Crap.

Well first I am sure it is because Uncle Joe has budgeted like $6B for trees in the name of racial justice so California won't be the ones paying for them.

Second, while I have no problem with it, they really need to ask the residents first. Some of these attempts have failed because the residents decided that they didn't want the trees regardless of the fact that their trees had been cut down generations ago to better keep popo eyes on the brothers and sisters. I guess they didn't want to have to rake leaves, pick up sticks, or have some tree blocking their views of the neighbors.
