The Committee for the Removal of All Palms says that most Santa Monica palm trees are useless. They do not provided coconuts or dates. They drop stupid little berries that are useless and messy. Dropping palm fronds are a menace to pedestrians and automobiles. The palms provide no shade (other than perhaps a little patch two blocks away from the tree). They are expensive and dangerous to trim. When they fall, they will not just take out a car or one roof, but a whole row of cars or roofs.
C.R.A.P. backs the replacement of palms with just about anything else. And the sooner the better.
