OK, so this tree is clearly on the property line and therefore the roots encroach into (under) the neighbors property. I'm sorry the tree is going to die, but I side with the neighbors.

But but but they have a LOVE sign in the window! Because progress! And it’s a TREE for pete’s sake! Sacred! Clearly the whinin... er, complaining neighbor is in the right, because wokeness!
(My goodness! Can you say ZERO LOT LINE? lol)
In the picture, it appears that the existing house already wiped out 40% of possible rut space for the tree, so perhaps the existing homeowner should have torn down his house and restored his land once the neighboring lot was sold, so that the tree could live.
Indeed. Either property rights mean something, or they don't.
#5 That looks like an old neighborhood. Look at the gray cement-asbestos? siding on the house on the right. I lived in a duplex with that siding. It was built in 1908.
The new building also destroys the view the neighbor had.
