Funny you should mention that…
Our HOA has a "president" who has taken it upon himself to redo all of our landscaping, much to the detriment of the appearance of our condo complex. He has hired a landscaping "expert" who seems to have no relevant eye for beauty and has replaced some beautiful "overgrown" trees and bushes with some sparsely planted saplings and nondescript bushes.
His last major activity has been to cut down all the gorgeous Coral trees in our complex, because his landscaper has told him that after 20 years their branches break off and could hurt someone. Of course, the same trees are all over Dana Point, in city parks, in other developments and there's even a 40 foot high beauty standing in a small traffic circle in Dana Point harbor, right in front of the El Torito where I'll buy you a margarita if you stop by.
I'm as upset as you, katkramer, because the tree they just cut down was right in front of my bedroom window and it provided not only shade and beauty, but it acted as a barrier to the pollutants that come from PCH which runs adjacent to our property.
I hate what they did here and I hate when anyone cuts down a beautiful living tree which has taken years to reach full growth.
But, as I always say, "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."
