[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I mean I know why they prefer it, to make construction easier, but why do owners buyin tear-downs ask them to do this and why do people buying new houses buy them when the lots have been cleared? They look horrible. As many mature trees as possible should be left. I've been watching a new house buying built off old dominion right past balls hill road and the builders cut every single tree off the lot before they started building. Insane! [/quote]

I hate to break it to the tree huggers, but simply put, trees are a risk. I live in a neighborhood with plenty of "mature trees" and I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a house where branches are over the house. If you've been in this area for any period of time you've undoubtedly seen houses get smashed like twigs from a large tree or branches falling down. Let's see, you're going to spend $600k building a house and not remove a tree that's too close to your house? That's called dumb. I like big trees, I just think they have no place close to the house. Unfortunately these days lot sizes keep shrinking and houses get larger so there's a lack of space for big/nice trees. It is what it is..[/quote]

Someone is willing to spend 600k on the house that can possibly be smashed like a twig by a tree [i]branch[/i]. By a tree, yes, by by the branch? Sounds like a  " the three little pigs"  type construction quality lol:

It takes decades to grow a mature tree, it's ridiculous how people cut them down without second thought. Leaning, unhealthy - sure, but healthy 70-100+ years beauties?? In my book it's a crime. I hope it's not the  same people who complaint about air quality, noise, and, ultimately, climate changelol:

Currently I am pretty tense with my neighbor who bought her house two years ago, and did not notice two poplar tulips planted on my front lawn in 1948 (I am not joking). Lots are not that huge, you can't help by notice large trees on almost every lawn. Nor did she notice two oaks planted the same year on her next door neighbors' lawn. She wants them down, too, or I and  the oak trees owner should be cleaning "our mess" off her lawn (leafs, branches, etc.). I installed cameras pointed at trees, because I question her sanity, and someone suggested to me to nominate my trees as a landmark trees, and I will do it in April. So will my neighbor. 
Just a tip for people in the same situation.

Wtf? Tell her to "fuck off."  Please use those exact words. She has no right to tell you to remove trees fro YOUR yard. [/quote]

Thank you for advice, I would love to say that right in her face, but I can't. When she first moved in and trees problem did not escalate yet, we chatted occasionally, and she told me a story about her sister, who had a conflict with her neighbor. She suggested to her sister to poison her neighbor's dog "she will get the message, but will be unable to prove who did it". if she openly talks about such an evil thing, she is capable of doing it herself. I have two dogs, I am scared for them. So I just smile and wave when I see her.  I can't risk my boys' life.

Jesus where the hell do you live? I'd let your neighbor know that you have guns and will defend your dogs with lethal force if need be. [/quote]
