The university will remove about 250 eucalyptus trees in the Mesa Apartments neighborhood that school officials said could pose a safety risk if they fall. 🌲
Matthew Allen lives downstairs.
“I think, for the university, that was just kind of the last straw because they were thinking, ‘Oh, we've trimmed all these trees to try to make it safe.’ And right after that, someone could have gotten really badly hurt and that would have been awful," he said."I get where they're coming from. I do think the measures are a little bit drastic.”
Students like Allen feel like cutting down 250 trees is too many. They were only given 4 days’ notice before removal began. They said they’ve been left out of the decision process and without the trees, they sacrifice its protection from noise pollution, environmental pollutants and sunshade.Leslie Sepuka, Resource Management & Planning/CFO for UCSD responded in a statement that reads:
“A large eucalyptus tree recently fell on one of the housing units in the Mesa Neighborhood. Fortunately no one was hurt, but because the safety of students, faculty and staff at UC San Diego is always of highest concern, the university is removing the eucalyptus trees identified as presenting the most risk. The process is based on the size of the trees and their fall radius. If a tree is tall enough to fall on a building, car or playground, then it will be cut.

Affordable Apartments Are Coming to the Top of New York’s SkylineNEW YORK — The latest luxury tower to rise in New York could distinguish itself not for its sky-high views but for its residents: survivors of 9/11, and some of the lowest-income renters in the city. On Thursday, a state oversight board cleared the way for a 900-foot mixed-use tower to be built at 130 Liberty St., also known as 5 World Trade, the only site on the World Trade Center campus that is expected to be residential. It took two decades of political wrangling. But the real feat, spurred b
