It's all about Nashville for this one. The city's area is almost that of LA, but the part of it that actually constitutes a city is small, more resembling little midsize towns like Boston and Atlanta (no, not Cleveland, sorry).
Also, those dismissing cities west of the Mississippi need to pull their heads out of wherever they left them. I'm sorry, but if deciduous, seasonal, common leaf-bearing tree's are the only trees some of you will acknowledge, than there's no point in this debate. The fact that I've heard Seattle mentioned less than Cleveland on this thread is laughable.
Cleveland is known as the forest city, because it is in the middle of a vast deciduous forest. Trees literally grow like weeds there, you can't keep the sapplings out of your flower beds and bushes.
I lived in Atlanta for 20 years, and I would say, without question, that the only city I've ever been to that was greener with more trees is Pittsburgh. Obviously, many people commenting on this thread have never been to Pittsburgh, or it would be getting a LOT more votes.

I don't doubt that it's very green, and scenic, from seeing pictures. However, for them (wiki) to come up with a determination, such as Atlanta, they must use some measurable criteria. I was looking for the list, via search engines, and couldn't find it. I'm sure Pittsburgh is high. However, Houston did come in as #2. Driving around suburban streets, one can't help but notice that.
I once remember sending an aerial view postcard from Atlanta, taken from north of Midtown, and the inscription on the back said that the USFS determined it was the most forested city in the nation. I've filed that away as interesting trivia.
For some reason, I did't know that there were an abundance of pine trees in Florida.
If you ever drive along I-10 in the Florida Panhandle, pine trees dominate.
In beach areas near Miami or around Marco Island/Sanibel, the sea pines, next to white sand beaches and turquoise water, make for a very scenic and relaxing combination.

Agreed.
P.S. this is NOT an attempt at friendship....I just strongly agree with this statement!

Actually, as I understood it, Wikipedia gets its data completely blindly, and (it seems) the best post seems to be the one that is viewed when researching the subject.....but it's NOT necessarily a scientific and controlled study -- Wiki's major drawback!
