re: Watching the tree canopy in my neighborhood slowly disappear.

Same thing is slowly happening in my neighborhood as well. Old oak trees are filling up with mistletoe and dying off. People get fed up with close calls (or limbs on the house) during hurricane season and cut them down. Nobody really plants new trees other than the occasional crape myrtle. It’s still pretty green but the canopy is definitely thinning out over time.
I think hurricanes are the main reason honestly.

Crape Myrtles have exploded in popularity in my neighborhood, mostly replacing old pine trees that proved to be too dangerous in hurricanes.
But I also see other trees being planted, just not pines. We've had enough damage from them in previous hurricanes.
The places where I really see the tree canopy disappearing are in older neighborhoods that have been paved over with townhouses, like the Heights & other gentrified neighborhoods in Houston. Coincidentally, flooding has also gotten worse in those neighborhoods.
