I can’t tell you how many times the crew has been told to cut trees on a neighboring property because they are in the view and “the neighbors won’t mind”. We always refuse (of course), but the prevailing sentiment with these people seems to be “act now, ask permission and/or deal with repercussions later”. And whatever fines are levied are mere pocket change to these spoiled brats!

After 2016 however she would only speak to me at home and only for sure when it wasn't on any kind of technology that she used for work including her own personal laptop or cell phone. She literally had a separate cell phone landline and a tablet to communicate with her friends and family. It was so bad that there is still fall out and holdovers from that time period today. We used to talk all the time and then suddenly we really didn't much at all to this day. The whole thing really took the wind out of her sails. It's all about conquer and divide.

Well if you don’t want to see crimes like this become either impossible to prosecute, or decriminalized entirely, you will want to look at the record of executive decisions and appointments starting in 2016. It’s not even remotely subtle, all environmental regulations were being dismantled or being made unenforceable. Presidential appointees, heading agencies charged with protecting the public from pollution, publicly stated stated that their job was to dismantle their agencies.

Straight up greed. A home with a view has a higher resale value as opposed to one that is blocked by mature oak trees. Most likely be a fine and restitution, nothing more

It’s our choice to have a group of people whose wealth puts them above the law. It was next to impossible to accumulate extreme wealth in the decades prior to the 80s because the highest marginal income tax rate was 80 or 90 percent. Rich people do provide a lot of entertainment value of course, so there’s that.

My neighbor pours bathroom cleaner all over my backyard and this isn't a rich neighborhood. It's not just rich people who behave like this. Complaining to the sheriffs deputies does nothing because they're all corrupt. I know it's bathroom cleaner because of the smell and because the soil foams up when I spray water on it. This area is conservative Christian and Republican.

Last 3 words of your comment explain everything. Get a surveillance camera, and save the footage--you'll need it someday.
