New nails could save homes!
You seriously need to check out this article:
http://www.popsci.com/popsci/flat/bown/2006/innovator_5.html
It isn't the wood that gives out in hurricanes- it is the nails.
Big time.
Also check out this article about Los Angeles giving up on palms in a big way. They cost too much to maintain and there isn't enough shade. The fact that they are iconic isn't weighing on the decision.

Feeling like the Internet can solve anything
You know when you read this:
http://www.omnidrive.com/
You start to think the Internet and our collective consciousness will solve any problem we encounter.
I don't like to think of needing plants as a problem, it's more of a desire. But it IS a problem if we don't have any plants in South Florida.
