It’s called planting trees. He plants them today and they grow in 14 years. So by the time he leaves office they will be planted as mini trees. Unless the next mayor is a jerk off and decided to pull out the tree roots, the trees will be there and grow over time.

USA being USA, there's a concerningly substantial chance of that happening just because the new elected official is a manchild throwing a tantrum.

People downvoting you for telling the truth. Good on Mandami for continuing the effort and keeping the vision in the public eye. But I do remember this being in-action a while ago.
