Is there any more of a PITA tree than a river birch?

This fricking tree in front of my house is driving me nuts. It drops twigs 24/7/365. Every mother fricking day of the year, there are more twigs in my yard. Now, these seeds from the catkins are fricking everywhere. I mean, they're covering my walkway, truck, patio, house, porch, inside my house, all over my pants and boots, and they constantly fall on my head. I'm bout to run this bitch over with my truck and hit it with one of those fancy axes.
What other kind of tree should I plant when I get this sorry piece of shite out of here? Probably max out about 30-40ft. I don't want shite falling from it 24/7. I have two houses worth of gas/sewer/water pipes within 20ft of where the tree will be. This is also in Metairie
Eta:
Cypress = too much
Pine tree = too much
Water oak = not too much
Guide me brahs

Golden Rain Tree will be the next one I plant, as soon as I get rid of a magnolia tree that hasnt grown in 5 years.

The queerest tree on the planet. When I bought my place one of the neater things about it was the driveway. 65 or so big River Birch trees lining both sides of it. Fast forward 8 years and I now have about 40. The others died from what I assume is gay tree aids. Every year I lose a few more. Then ones that are able to fend of gay tree aids rain twigs and limbs in the slightest hint of a breeze. They make a 15 MPH gust seem like a F5 finger of God tornado. frick em, frick em all.

I like River Birches. They attract finches.
You need a Drake Elm.

NO on popcorn trees. Pecans have catkins and falling limbs. Only one tree that's pleasant looking and not messy. Japanese maples. Only thing is they don't grow large ( that's a good thing) so you may have to plant several. Get your check book out. But they are worth it. LINK

Plant you a black cherry tree or an ash and be done with it. There's a river birch outside our building that keeps the sidewalk covered with shite almost year round, cool looking tree and leaf but damned if you have one near a driveway.

"Whining arse river birch pussy" or so says the five sweet gums in my yard.

Hair comes with the hide bro. My first house was in the middle of an old cotton field in Bossier PH - i.e. no shade and a hot mofo in the summer. Now I blow leaves till July with a smile on my shaded face.
