Editor,

When is the safety of life and property going to be more important than someone’s arbitrary idea of aesthetics, in regard to the danger of the falling eucalyptus trees on El Camino? This risk exists for all of us who transverse El Camino daily, not just the residents of Burlingame.

Thank you Barbara. These trees are a dangerous scourge. Rip them all out and plant native trees.

100% agree.

Barbara, Chris, yes yes yes! Finally, a moment of reason! FYI, the eucalyptus tree is, in fact, a very large grass plant that was brought to this area from Australia because it was cheap and grew fast. Nothing "preservable" about it. Also, the oil in the plant makes it a match ready to ignite. Please remove them all!
