    Branch falls, kill man.

    So then the appropriate word to use would be "Won't" .. not "Can't". I doubt that physical impossibility qualifies reasonably in that list. How about instead we identify and prioritize high traffic parks and focus efforts on mitigating hazards in that respect? Perhaps a budget increase is in...

    Because of the city budget?

    Branch falls, kill man.

    I realize this is a polarizing subject and that people will disagree with me, but come on. Why are you trying to pick me apart with semantics? why can't we use this as an opportunity to discuss this subject constructively?

    I realize this is a polarizing subject, and that people are going to disagree with me, but let's open a dialogue about this, Oh come on, you're going to get into semantics with me now? Well excuse me, Basal trunk decay, "root" rot. fruiting bodies appearing from the soil within the drip line.

    Branch falls, kill man.

    My beef isn't with telling people they're not fit to do their jobs, it's telling the city that maybe they should allocate more money if this is a budget problem so that the people who are responsible for inspections and deadwooding get to do more of it, I even offered to deadwood the whole god...

    Branch falls, kill man.

    So you're trying to tell me that I need to be an expert to state that old deadwood in trees above HIGH traffic public parks is unacceptable ? I could be a layman, completely unaffiliated with ISA or this industry whatsoever and assert the same statement with exactly as much confidence.

    Branch falls, kill man.

    Spoke to the effect of risk in above post. My statement was perhaps a bit too strong. "Risk, yes we can never entirely eliminate risk from a tree, and they are inherently unpredictable. Deadwood is a basic, glaringly obvious defect that should be discovered through regular inspections, and...
