Before and after of my first MF project / and liability note

So the pic you see with the trees obscuring the view of the roadway was an interesting story with the city. The trees are on the city's right of way, but they were a major liability for future tenants trying to pull onto this busy roadway. I asked the city to cut the trees down since they were on their right of way, and a major liability. Long story short, they all but laughed at me and told me it was my responsibility. I sent certified letters to several people in the roads dept, planning dept, and Mayor with the same request, and explained how this was a major liability for the city. Crews were out the next day cutting the trees down. Sometimes unless you put it in writing, nothing will get done with local governments.
