A Most Unfortunate Quote
According to the Chronicle, the city of San Francisco has been on a palm tree planting spree (300+ over the past six years) in “an effort to lure tourists and reduce urban blight.” And while many cheer the campaign, and the trees, others protest. And here’s where we come to an unfortunate quote: “Palms have been called high-rise condominiums for rats.” We’re guessing that’s not exactly the imagery the marketing department had in mind when pitching the concept of The Palms.
No retort from the Palms PR department. We are, however, pretty sure we detected numerous chuckles emanating from the marketing departments of all the other new developments about town.
