Wow - homes floating away in SW Florida, probably some lives lost and youโ€™re worried about a few palm branches?

I drove up MMP along Morse and commented that it wasnt too bad. Yes, I drove over a bunch of down branches, but wow
You would be the first to complain about fees going up to pay for landscaping.

So you are bitching about some palms down after a storm. What will be the issue for you tomorrow. You could have just said that there were palms down and left it at that, no need to throw the Villages under the bus.

BTW, I drove through brownwood about 1:30 - they are picking up the debris, will be back to normal by dinner tonight

Neighbor across the street paid last week for two bucket trucks to remove lots and lots of dead branches.

Guess they are sorry they did not wait a week for nature to take em down.

Went to a VHA presentation by the Head of the District Landscaping where he discussed the maintenance of the landscaping in the Villages. He discussed trimming the Palm trees. Due to the number of Palm Trees (I don't remember the number but was well above 10,000 trees) and, the fact, to eliminate the palm fronds from falling, they would need to trim at least a couple of times per year at a cost of $50 -$100 per trimmed tree. He said they just do not have the budget for that. He did say that they are starting to trim select Palm trees in highly used areas.

oh yea. house here going on market saturday .can't wait to get out.

frose 09-29-2022 03:11 PM

let's see what the clean up costs..

frose 09-29-2022 03:15 PM

all you miss the point.. If this had been done all along, instead of letting them go, they would not have to be cleaned up now. Lucky no one got hurt by falling debris. that's all no big deal..
