In my city, city planners decided to bring trees that aren’t native to our country (sycamore trees), and now we have an invasion of these bugs that bite and stink bugs.
It’s bog standard to have fruit trees and berry bushes in urban areas here in sweden, rowan trees and serviceberry bushes are literally everywhere, and it simply is not a problem. Birds will eat most of it before you even have time to notice the fruit going bad.
From a city planner view point this would never fly because it was attract insects to public spaces.
How dare we have pollinators.
Same for any flowers

But at least we don’t have, god forbid, bees.
How disgusting! Nature? In my neighborhood? Ugh.
