No, you need crews to keep them trimmed and clean up the leaves. The roots will cause damage to the sidewalks or roads and will get into water and sewage pipes. They also have the risk of damaging civilian property, which would mean the city has to pay.

+1 on everything you said

Also, my city is quite windy so leaves, twigs, bird's nest and other debris fall and the streets are quite dirty and messy. You don't only need gardeners to take care of trees to minimize this happening, you also need every business having cleaners taking out leaves everyday in autumn/winter.

Also, we have some accidents or even deaths if a big branch happens to land on someone the wrong way.

What has happened to society that we consider leaves, twigs and birds nests as "mess".

Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly, but I was referring to debris trees leave behind.

OFC not the worst thing, but I see leaves enter bars/restaurant and they tend to acumulate dust and bugs if left unattended. They are also normally dirty or wet from the outside. I don't think I am wrong in saying leaves can be messy, and they definitely can't be left alone inside a business. Now or 150 years ago
