In Australia power companies will butcher any tree that gets close to overhead powerlines. Understandable, but result is an ugly streetscape and very little opportunity for green spaces outside parks.

Australian greenscapes in public areas is fine. It's just that people's land is now devoid of trees because of:

1. extra work all year. 2. solar panels 3. roots

There is nowhere in Australia where the government has cheaped out on greenery on public land. But home owners definitely hate trees. Go take a look through time of housing on Google maps.
