I've been told that this is a no-go for city planners because the sheer quantity of fallen fruit can be a walking hazard, and no one wants the legal liability. What it comes down to is that "free" fruit trees would require additional ongoing maintenance costs. Nothing nefarious, just logistical issues.

Sounds like job creation to me

You mean like shoveling sidewalks in the winter?

Oh no.

The horror.

I imagine if there were trees all over every street in town there would be a lot of mushy ass fruit swarming with flies on the ground.

It's not a stable enough logistics chain to be viable, like, If I think "I'd like to possess a bowl of apples" I'm not going to like, patrol the streets and pick apples to that end.

Fallen bananas are slippery.

I thought they were banned to prevent free food and thus discouraged homeless people.
