Seriously, they do.
My young family has lived in this neighbourhood (Baulkham Hills, Sydney) for 6 or 7 years now and I have pretty much worked from home all that time. Well, except when I travelled away from home for 2-3 days a week for several months.
In that time I can't say I have heard chainsaws weekly but it sure feels like it at times. Over the last week the people over the back fence turned their backyard into a desert, every tree was chopped down. I guess it is their right to choose to do so but unfortunatley it now allows us to see straight into their yard and them into ours.
What were they thinking! I don't want to see their crap, their mess, their clothes on the line, their worn grass where the yappy little dog runs all day. Our private hide-away is no longer, we see the house behind us and houses and rooftops further down the hill.
It is all ugly.
Several days earlier it was a huge Eucalypt that succumbed to the teeth of a chainsaw, only a week earlier 3 massive deciduous trees came down on the edge of a property near here that will now become a space for 8 units. The new units will be built to the very edge of that property I guess, otherwise those trees gave their lives for nothing.
Last month my father had to get a large Silver Oak chopped down because the people behind him poisoned the tree and it died. These same people lopped the top half of an Oak Tree down for who knows what reason. That Oak died as well.
I don't get it, do we need to take everything down to our own height.
