ever heard of Griffith park? Or Echo park or Mac Aurthur park? These are urban parks in LA that have trees as well lots of them.
The only reason you think that is because you can see the trees from the sky. Its not my fault alot of buildings are a bit taller than the trees right next to it.
LA metro does not have more trees overall than NYC metro. Simple as that.

8,000 of the 26,607 acres are in NYC.
So what are those freakin skyscrapers in new York there a million times bigger than any tree. Just forget it seriously I give. You obviously use google maps are something and assume the worst. Just got to be here to see there's plenty of trees.
Nobody said LA didn't have trees, others HAVE said that NYC doesn't have tree lined streets. That is why we are posting pix of MANHATTAN's tree lined streets.

Where are the buildings?
Yes, cause most of the streets look like this.
