Well what might those unintended consequences be, Bill, or are they in the
class of unknown unknowns? I can imagine you might get trees in the wrong
places, but nothing new there, and it keeps a stream of jobs for those who
make a living from tree work. The great thing about it is that it is
straightforward sensible and easily understood. The sort of common sense
policy a Tree Commission might come up with if it was composed of intelligent
lay people. And certainly in my municipal experience, tree planting has been
neglected ever since budgets became a problem, sometime around the Thatcher
years of compulsory competitive tendering.
Deep down I agree with you though, if something can go wrong then it
certainly will.

And off-hand I'd be wary of instigating 2-for-1 or 6-for-1 policies as it's
almost bound to lead to unintended consequences.
