Rich people in Bristol install anti-bird spikes in trees to keep shit off their cars, rendering trees "literally uninhabitable" by local wildlife

Oh wow, so I just saw this on Seanan McGuire’s blog, and it seems to go so much deeper than the inconvenience of parking under trees.

And now you can only leave your car anywhere in Bristol if you’re rich, or lucky.

So after changing the ENTIRE landscape and economy of a city in order to park in front of their own houses with no competition, the rich people then put pigeon spikes ON TREES to prevent the pigeons from shitting down onto their cars,

That is the socioeconomic context with which you should hate these pigeon spikes.
