Neighbor of mine, cut down 2 redwoods about 50-70 year old because they were taking up space and dropped cones everywhere. Neighbor on the other side freaked because she planted shade plants and they were ruined. Uproar but then it ended after he argued he pays the property taxes not her.
She had no right to tell him what to do on his property.
I moved into a place. Had a 50 pine 6 feet from the house an Another 30foot popular next to the garage. Insurance had me cut it down. It shaded not just the house but about 6 other trees. Took em a few years to die. Felt sad. Liked all those trees. They got burnt real bad the first year
