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.

I can understand people not wanting them in their yards, but you have to admit that the further south you go beyond 466A, the more the land was just automatically cleared to facilitate building. The TG park is a beautiful exception, and I was hoping they would save those few trees in the Fruitland Park section and design some postal stations or parks/pools around them. It doesn't take much imagination to do that. This mowing and clearing of the land harkens back to the way they used to build suburban housing developments in the '70s and '80s. We called it scrape and burn.
