Heh. Someone just spoke at Kitchener City Council (very passionately, he was almost in tears) about his neighbours cutting down trees and the city not doing enough to prevent that from happening. A councillor then backed him up saying they were doing everything they could to make sure this would stop.
And yet, we have a massive, likely 100+ year old tree in our front yard which the city actually owns, and I LOVE, and it has a few dead branches on it. We called the city and asked if they wouldn't mind removing the dead branches as every winter they shower down a bit on the sidewalk an road and create a bit of a safety hazard.
Their solution? Marked it for removal. The whole thing. Shrug of the shoulders at the guy who came to the door to give us the news.
So infuriating.
