I hate it when people needlessly destroy mature trees. My parents have 2 separate neighbors who removed a total of four 60yo pine trees. You ask them why and they say something stupid like they don’t want squirrels coming in their yards (doesn’t stop them for even a second) or they just wanted something else.

In the meantime, they plant stuff that is seasonal and constantly dying and their houses and cars are being destroyed by the sun.

It’s their stuff, i get it. I just hate to see beautiful trees that have been growing for decades and have shaded 2-3 families get destroyed in an hour by someone who has lived there for 3 months.

Tree shade is awesome- but not at the risk of falling limbs (widow makers), or falling trees. Also, insurance companies often require major tree trimming or removal before they'll offer coverage, and in some states like Florida, there are too few home insurance companies- so owners often make the smart decision to choose home insurance over a tree.

Trees are a naturally renewing resource, and worrying about what the neighbors do with their trees- is a first world problem.
