Millionaires wanted a better view of the city, cut down trees.
Non-millionaires wanted a better view of their community, planted potatoes in decorative tire planters.
The "feeding the community" angle is just a red herring to distract from their ultimate intention of having a nicer view from their home.
Now, we can agree or disagree that a the by product of these actions (lost public trees VS community food) are not equal, but don't act like the motivators were any different.

So am I trolling, or raging against the machine? Come on man, we need clarity!
Maybe it's just a personal matter for me. A few years ago my neighbour's lawn was going to hell while he was on vacation, so I mowed it for him. He didn't seem to mind. He actually bought me a case of beer.
The following December I cut down the Douglas Fir in his front yard and used it as a Christmas tree. He comes knocking on my door and, instead of another case of beer that I was hoping for, he's got the cops with him.
"What's the difference?", I said.
