Agreed, I saw some pictures of destroyed pavements. The wider and more massive palm you've got (Jubaea, Phoenix...), the more likely will it want to expand in width. Although most of the palms have typically only vertical roots.

Fruit trees require much more attention and work. Palms need only pruning and seed/fruit harvesting.
Most of the fruit trees require pruning, fertilizing, irrigation, insekticides, biological protection... and aside from citrus trees, tourists are not interested in seeing what they could see at home.
