Sacramento calls itself "The city of trees" and boasts that it has the most trees per capita of any city in the world. I don't know about Atlanta or Raleigh though. But it is one of Sac's nicknames, along with The River City and The Big Tomato.

Then they should stop saying that.

Sacramento isn't even in the same neighborhood as far as the number of trees compared to the southeast cities. On the freeways that's mostly all you see. Trees and more trees.

I never been to the South so I don't know. But Sacramento does have one of the highest tree per capitas in the world -- so they claim.

Boston's very green moreso outside city limits because of the tight city limits but on a metro level its insanely wooded. You don't see one house once you pass Malden (~3 miles north of DT) from the Highway

Houston HAD a lot of trees but the drought killed a large chunk of them. I'm guessing most of the Southern and Pacific Northwest cities will win this one.
