Nobody wants to cut down trees once they've grown.

Dude, there are whole industries based on cutting down trees once they have grown.

What are you smoking? ... can I have some?

Cities don't want to pay for that. No one is backing logging equipment down a Paris side street.

But yeah, it's not an issue. I'm sure people planted trees knowing they get bigger. Lemmings just like to point to obvious issues as if no one thought about them.

They are. All cities contract arborists on a regular basis. You don't need massive machinery, just a person with ropes and a chainsaw, some ground crew and smallish truck and maybe a chipper to remove the wood.
