No shit. Some of ASU's decisions are terrible. I bet it was some senior architecture student project they went with for that new landscaping in front of Old Main. How hard would it be to design around keeping the largest shade trees?
And I'll die on my hill that replacing the original 100 year old palm trees on Palm Walk was the most idiotic idea ever. Again, some botanist or grad students decided they were nearing their end-of-life (oh, and ASU has some sort of budget to keep up), so let's tear them all out and replace them with new date palms... Should have let those old girls stand tall and proud until they literally turned into matchsticks. They likely had a couple decades of life left. They were historic basically, might as well tear down Old Main while we're at it.
