What has a city without houses?

That's right, the answer to the 'I have cities but no houses' riddle is a map. You can easily see where this riddle is coming from as notable landmarks such as cities are pointed out in maps but finer details are often missed.

What is a forest without trees?

Kelp forests have no trees; in fact giant kelp isn't considered a plant but rather classifies as an algae. The concept of a forest typically lends a sense of permanence and nostalgia, a place you can return to over the years, climbing the same tree, back to your roots.
