Maybe if people took the leaves and acorns and dumped them on YOUR property, you would change your tune

Our neighbor decided he didn't like raking leaves, so had this beautiful oak tree cut down. Guess what that tree was providing valuable shade to our front room (and the neighbor who cut it down), resulting in higher electric bills for the beating sun in the room, not to mention the extra a/c we had to install to keep up with the heat. For eight months of the year, the average temp in my office is 83 degrees, and that is with the house temp set at 70.
And yeah, when neighbors leaves blew into our yard ole Blueblase just mowed them. We have no 'suckers' as you put it.
