    We’re banned from planting fruit-bearing trees in our Florida neighborhood due to pest problems.

    This sounds outrageous from outside the state… turns out, it’s not. Oh, it is not, you have no idea. Planting those on main street would be a catastrophe.

    What I’m saying is this sounds nice in theory, but there are all sorts of knock-on effects that have nothing to do with humans, and you’d have to at the very least tailor it to the local environment and climate.

    Maybe its better in like boulder or San Francisco?
