I have seen it happen with old trees, but I think now they have either species or techniques to avoid that. Trees in streets are very common in France, it’s not a recent thing. There’s even a specific term for streets with trees: “avenue”, although many people use it without knowing.

Id be worried about the roots fucking up the sidewalk and foundations not the greenery.
