They're very common here in rural Australia, too, but there's a lot of argument about them. They are very effective and fast-growing windbreaks, there's no issue with them impinging on neighbours and they're not particularly fire-prone. On the other hand, native animals (apart from some parrots) can't eat them, nothing grows under them, and people plant them instead of native vegetation.
