$9,000 a month rent. Is there a walk-up bodega store in the front???

[a fool in paradise]

Why doesn’t he just buy their house for $10,000,000?

Here is a thought to make one feel old.

Lennon’s son is 40 this year.

His other son is over 50.

Its a good thing this didn’t happen next door to Nero Wolfe’s brownstone, or several people would wind up dead, and Mr. Wolfe would be intolerable.

Imagine there’s no neighbors
it isn’t hard to do
no neighbors above us
no neighbors below

but next door,, ay yiyi

Hmmm. I guess I would just sneak over in the middle of the night, band it, let it die and then wait for him to sue me. I would then counter claim. My guess is that he is too stoned to even notice.

If the roots are on (under) their property, can’t they just cut them.

[Dr. Sivana]

His other son is over 50.

That's Julian, the talented one.

Was there no comment from Yoko’s daughter, So Soo-mee?

I don't know what the law says about such a situation but this sounds kinda dicey to me.But if a reputable structural engineer (or,better still,several of them) decide that that tree is,in fact,causing serious damage to that home then one could argue that it's up to Lennon to address the situation.

[Roos_Girl]

Wouldn’t it just be cheaper and easier and take less time to rent a backhoe and rip up the yard and remove the roots from their property?

[Blood of Tyrants]

John would be 75 this year.

I would say there’s a good chance that’s what they really want.

Nothing will be done about the tree, because they are more important than people.

[left that other site]

I just googled the address and you can see the tree from outer space!

hahahahahahaha

There are some kinds of trees that are notorious for their invasive root systems. It’s likely that this ailanthus “Tree of Heaven” did some damage.

I know that I foolishly let a foreign garbage wild tree grow next to my house for a couple of years. It was pervasive and prolific in its growth. Even after cutting it off at the base, it would sprout new growth immediately. I finally had to get my B&D Black Maxx right angle drill and 18 inch long 1” boring bit and drill three holes in the top of the cut off base. I think poured straight Roundup down the holes and repeated until the whole gallon was gone. That sucker was then Dead Right There.

I think the parents of Tomei are probably using the amount of the suit to make this fool do what he should. At least I hope that’s what they are doing.

Wow...

Imagine...

And John Lennon was 40 when he was killed.
