code enforcement

I had a friend who had the wonderful neighbors who were of the Green Kind. Naturists to the point of way beyond out there special. Everything was organic or recycled. Well they had this huge Dutch Elm tree that overhung my buddies house. And of course he wanted it trimmed and they of course refused. He even offered to have a Arborist come in to make sure they only cut certain limbs and such. But they protested and fought over it. To the point my friend had to go to the city council because the people were trying to get this tree protected. At the same time my friends homeowners insurance was jacking his policy because of how close the tree was to his house and shed. Finally one day my friend came home and there was his neighbors tree laying across their car and into the side of their house. It had rotted from the inside at the base and fallen over from saturated soil etc.. They had the cajones to ask him to cut the tree off of their car so they could get it out. He had a nice polite answer of Umm No! Wouldn't want to desecrate a dying tree, and run his highly poluting two stroke chainsaw. I think they finally moved after him having nightly parties right up to the time of 9:59 p.m. He'd invite the whole neighborhood besides them. I think they finally got the point.

Poetic justice! :cheers:
