So whatever happened to with the person who wanted to put a tree in front of some one else's house?

I don't know. What DID happen to the guy who wanted to put a tree in front of someone else's house?

What happened to the poor woman whose neighbor was complaining about her cherry blossoms blowing into his yard? Maybe we'll hear from her again next spring.

I'm the person. I told my neighbor that I requested a tree in front of his house, and I woke up the next morning with a severed horse's head in my bed.
Just kidding. I still haven't decided one way or another. The general consensus from the original thread seemed to be that it is completely fine to request a tree for a tree pit in from of someone else's house. I think your viewpoint will affect how you frame the issue - "requesting a tree from the city in front of someone else's house" versus "requesting a tree from the city on the public sidewalk down the block from your home."

Brooklynguy,
I hear you, but I really strongly suggest to avoid horse heads or any other type of drama to you speak to your neighbor first. You can look at it any way you want to fit your viewpoint. But being a considerate neighbor is not a viewpoint.

I just can't see how a tree would be an issue. The street is public and the tree is good for the environment and beautifies the street. If nothing else, wouldn't it increase property values to be on a lovely tree lined block?
Of course speak to the neighbor, and I understand that the neighbor would be responsible to keeping the sidewalk clear of leaves and such but let's be real, how much of a big deal is that? Just me but I think it's a little much to worry about whether or not the neighbor wants the tree over the greater good.
