Connor: Blog Of The Day

I think what he is trying to say is that a neighborhood without trees is not good for the environment.  The cypress trees were destroyed to make houses for residents.  The reason it is called cypress street is because the houses on the street were built from cypress trees.  Although it is kind of strange to have lampposts all over the place.  I think the author was also trying to say that naming a street after a tree is good only when that place still has that tree.  I think it is funny that he suggests the name of the street should be lamppost street.
