Unfortunately, those decisions are driven largely by the public's phobias of fruit and seed litter coming off of trees. Urban foresters just respond to the concerns of the public, which wants tidy streets. Unless people are willing to accept "messier" streets or pay more for cleanup, I predict that the dominance of male trees will continue.
