I often wonder if people that feel this way would love to look at that lovely old trees if they were dumping their crap all over their roof and yard and preventing grass from growing on their lawns.

As far as I'm concerned, those trees should be restricted to parks and other undeveloped areas and be kept out of residential areas. They ruin homes and home sites. I looked at several nice homes before I bought and as soon as I saw on of those trees I walked away.

They are also no bargain for other residents on the same street or block.

I agree, it's very nice to take a walk through some of the parks and look at these huge trees, but I would not want one within 100 yards of my house.
