There must be more than a grain of truth to your statement.
Our neighbors behind us who had two homes before their current one here in TV said that they would never plant palms again for the very reason that you said. I notice that most people in our new village who have lived here before, haven't planted palms.
I hate those huge roaches that live in them.
But they won't hurt you and you can have the pest fellows keep them at bay
But if everyone liked or disliked the same thing, they would only sell vanilla ice cream.
AND as Jimbo says...People just love the look of Palm trees.
