zach lahn spotted cutting down protected trees in his backyard to 'improve the view' – but local regulations say otherwise.
Well, there goes the neighborhood. I’m all for a nice view, but where’s the common sense? You don’t just grab a chainsaw and start hacking down protected oaks because you want to see the lake better. That’s not property rights – that’s arrogance. I’ve lived here 20 years, and we all follow the same rules. If he gets a slap on the wrist, it’s a joke. Let’s see if the city council has the backbone to fine him what the trees are actually worth.
