Friends of the Urban Forest, San Francisco CA

Why do people support stuff like this? I LOVE PLANTS BUT NOT WHEN IT DISRUPTS RESIDENCE. San Francisco does not need stuff like this there are so many other things money should go towards and its not ripping up the concrete, and planting dumb non native urban trees in DOWNTOWN of all places. I even have photos which I uploaded to the review. First off the trees they plant are perfect places for rats to congregate in.i wonder if these volunteers even live in SF I know they do not so I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.as they would realize how dumb this is.

Now they planted a tree in front of my apartment. Not only do people now stand in front of it at all hours of the day since its so close to my window right next to my bed to let their dogs go to urinate. People use it as a restroom for their dogs and other purposes. Tree is rotting away, yellowing. Bark is all over the side walk. People use it as a garbage can and bathroom! Do you think this makes the city prettier? Angering residences with noise pollution, and then having it make things uglier! Look at the photo I provided.

I love being woken up by people who are entitled and have dogs while I am a struggling student with classes now you have made me not want to live at my home. I wish this tree and this space you guys created get filled in! WHY DID YOU DO THIS? WHY? I do not support this group. THANK YOU FOR THE GARBAGE DUMP AND HORSEFLIES AND BEETLES I AM NOW SUFFERING WITH. Appreciate it. Lived here 5 years never had any problems like this until they installed this tree a few weeks ago. Fill the area back with concrete!

They don’t give away trees, they charge the home owner for it then promise they will come back like once a month to help take care of it but they never did. When we called to for them to help they said we are not responsible for it. So basically they just ask for the money.
