>>1822303I live in one of the original Levittowns (PA) where each property had 2 - 3 trees planted just at the edge bordering the sidewalk/road.
What ended happening was people would higher these scam "tree services" to "top" or chop down their trees out of fears that branches would fall on their houses/insurance companies placing retarded price hikes based on how close to the house or how big a tree is.
So you just have shittons of instances like pic related where the tree service butchers these trees intended to provide shade until it look it came straight from a post-apocalyptic wasteland and is unable to meaningfully provide any cover from the sun.
