Default what is up with the urge to plant palms?

While caution is necessary when planting oaks...and many other trees...it's not the extreme problem some have described. We live on a standard, interior lot. We have a live oak in the center of our front yard. It's plenty far from our house, all driveways and the street and it's has all the space it needs to mature. No negative impacts at all unless a bit of leaf raking/mowing is not your thing. And there's not even much of that compared to many other types of trees.

And oh yeah...forgot to mention...it's beautiful.
