Is this possible?

 From City Journal

California currently registers the nation’s highest level of poverty when cost of living is considered, and energy prices are a big part of that burden on the poor.

Not to worry. City Heat Officers will ride to the rescue, presumably on a bicycle or renewable energy vehicle and present the answer: Plant more trees!

Well, you know what? Lots of places in cities, you can’t plant trees. There simply is not room. Generally, places that are open enough for trees already have trees.

What this “tree canopy” measurement means is the City Heat Officers will apply for and receive state and federal grants to identify and rectify areas with insufficient tree canopy. Grants to hire canopy measurers, grants to buy trees, grants to hire planters of trees, as well as ancillary tractors, backhoes, shovels and such. Just think of what that means for manufacturers of backhoes, stampers of shovels, planers of wooden handles, baggers of fertilizers, and etc.

The Obama administration “shovel-ready projects” writ larger. Hmm. It could be that Martha’s Vineyard will need those refugees from the border after all.
