I would argue that deeper scratches turn to rust, and rust destroys the car body. It's not the same as an engine problem, sure, but personally I think deeper scratches should still be fixed.

I applied through the city. Thanks for the heads up, I'll try again through tree tenders.

Agreed, it's super important to spread the word! I applied and got denied (they said my sidewalk is too narrow), but if I can't have a street tree, everyone else should get one!
