Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

I must admit, it looks pretty good.
So with all those beautiful trees now planted and expected to remain for the next 80 years...has anyone checked if the trees were installed correctly. If DPR construction engineers had a say, chances are they're all planted tooo deep and may not survive. Thats a lot of lost trees at $1000 a piece.
