    This is a waste of money and water resources to service the purchase of baby trees.

    $8 million of taxpayer money going to maintaining trees... These are not adult trees. They are small, baby trees. A lot of the trees the city buys die. Since they are small they do not create shade for homeless people. The city of Phoenix is supposed to be worried about water when adult trees require WAY less water and maintenance. In October of 2023, the City of Phoenix approved buying $10 million of trees. How many police officers could the city of Phoenix hire with $24 million?

In October of 2023, the City of Phoenix approved buying $10 million of trees. Now this will make it $16 million. The next agenda item will then make it $24 million going to trees and services for trees. How many police officers could the city of Phoenix hire with $24 million?
