This was not necessarily the case when the OBG (Historic District) was developed by Harold Schwartz, where historic trees are all over the place.

Trees in florida are sacred, as well as water, but too many choose to cut down perfectly healthy trees, even chop them up and leave a trunk on there lot because they don't want to rake the leafs, and most are done by unlicensed not insured fly by night (mostly Saturday & Sunday)

I am not a tree hugger by all means, but if this continues we will look like a desert.

Villagers should know they are subject to fines for violating there deed restrictions.
At least it's symmetrical Perhaps the limbs were extending out over their house roof/gutters. Up north they used to prune up trees like this and by the next summer they were full and beautiful again.
