Around here people really love the trees. Until they don't anymore.
Then, there are regulations that would prevent one from removing a
tree, such as the need to get a town permit to do so. In addition, it
costs a ****load of money to get a tree cut down and hauled away.

I suppose the question is how much does it cost to remove that same
tree from your living room.
How many people will be impacted by that tree taking out the primary
that supplies 4 or 5 blocks?
Once you experience those things a few times you get a better
perspective about trees.

Just to clarify - the tree would in all likelihood only take out the
wires from the pole to my house.
Which could short and take out the line fuse (if so equipped) or the
transformer - an possibly cause a "domino effect" failure.
