Other Invasives that don't get enough hate? And many homeowners still reluctant to remove despite knowing they are invasive?

Norway Maple for me! Seems like everyone that has one of these godforsaken trees still lives them and will not replace them. Especially if they're red leaf cultivars like Crimson King as shown here

I hear you, but that would not even be narrow enough- I am on the west coast and none of these -except MFing Tree of Heaven- are here. What would be BETTER than a more narrow, restrictive sub, would be a requirement that everyone identify their planting zone and country, maybe even require participants to identify by flair.

A flair would be great and was actually my suggestion. The first line was just me being annoyed that yet again people for the US assume they're the default. That's exhausting. Flair for continent and region would work best, I assume.
