A lefty public transport nonprofit that supports socialist Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman is coming for the city’s iconic palm trees.

Streets For All has launched a social media campaign “Palm trees are a scam”, blasting the trees for guzzling water, providing little shade and being dangerous during fires and high winds.

“Time for LA to replace Palm Trees with trees that provide actual shade and cool down our city,” the group declared.

In a video filmed along Sunset Boulevard, the group laid out its case against palms.

“Palm trees suck at doing the one thing trees need to do in cities: provide actual shade,” the group argued.

They want the city to plant more broad-canopy trees, such as sycamores, which the group says provide more shade and help cool city streets.

However, their proposal was quickly roasted online.

“This is the worst take ever,” one X user fired back.

“I live in Phoenix. I have seven palm trees. I water NONE of them,” another wrote, calling Streets For All a “Climate Commie.”

Another responded, “yea no,” while others piled on with face-palm emojis and a blunt “STFU.”

Streets For All founder Michael Schneider told The California Post the group stands by its push to remove palm trees.

“We believe we should replace palm trees with trees that are native to Southern California and provide real shade,” Schneider said.

Palm Tress have defined Los Angeles for nearly a century.

During the Great Depression, the city embarked on a massive tree-planting campaign that put hundreds of unemployed people to work planting tens of thousands of palms as the city prepared to host the 1932 Olympics.

The palms helped forge the image of Los Angeles that became synonymous with the city around the world.

Now, nearly a century later, LA is again preparing to host the Olympics, this time in 2028.

And Streets For All isn’t just shouting from the political sidelines.

The group is firmly in Raman’s corner, endorsing her bid to knock Mayor Karen Bass out of City Hall after years of backing the councilwoman and her transportation agenda.

In its 2026 endorsement, Streets For All hailed Raman as a “citywide leader” on safer streets, pointing to her support for bike lanes, bus shelters, faster public transit and Measure HLA, the voter-approved mandate requiring certain street-safety upgrades when roads are repaved.

The organization is also spending money to help Raman take down Bass, paying for attack ads against the mayor.

One ad currently running says, “Wealthy people call Karen Bass,” and says LA needs a mayor who “doesn’t just respond to the rich and powerful.”

Schneider told The Post the palm-tree push was not coordinated with Raman.

“We have not discussed this with Nithya,” Schneider said.

The group’s other ambitions for Los Angeles include a “transportation revolution,” with more dedicated bus lanes, protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks and streets that give more space to pedestrians and cyclists.

Raman’s campaign did not immediately respond to the California Post’s request for comment.
