Reply to comment by Ironboundian in Trees Being Removed by Daydreaming_Bitch

This was the city though. No store front, no raised sidewalk, I'm not sure about plumbing issues, but we've never had anyone out because of the tree, never had a power outage because of it either. I would absolutely understand if there was an issue with it. But to cut it down just to simply cut it down without anyone complaining about it makes no sense to me.

I'm not saying they are right....just that the City channels all those constituencies. Plus another poster said how dead trees and branches fall on cars or people too. Could be the City covering their butt from a liability perspective. If someone called 311 to say it was dead and the city did nothing and then the next day a branch fell on a car.....well there you go.

Right, but I'm sure they have a way to test to see if a tree is dead. The city said they just decided to cut it. Sad to see it go.
