1. is it even a tree??
2. if you cut the trunk at the ground level, that must be ok, right, I mean not a single branch was cut
3. if the cm died, mysteriously of course, then it would be ok to cut it down, right?
I really, really dislike government sticking it’s nose in things it has no right or business in
Actually, in Charlotte they audit how many trees you have per square foot of parking area. There is a minimum square footage of tree coverage for every foot of parking space.
