My roots are Macedonian one great example Mr.

I have strong roots here with friends in the carpentry and electrician business and family with some commercial real estate that should come in handy. 

From what I gather they don't get too aggressive in rooting these out though just owing to the fact that making you remove it would eliminate much needed housing and force a resident to have to move out (at your cost).  

Housing prices shot up, and it the last 2 years, duplexes in our area went up $100K each year.This year we all went to the dentist, all 4 of us, and we need root canals, crowns, and even though with dental insurance, our co-pay is considerable.

Welcome to BP @Michael Root

I went to RP Connor so my Suffern roots run deep!

I am rooting for these guys to pull off some refinancings within the next year to boost returns.

I have roots in Augusta, although growing up, my family spent time split between NC and VA during my father's military career. 

Not only are they fairly messy, but they have a shallow and aggressive root system that can cause expensive problems.

My guess would be he doesn't want roots penetrating foundations, plumbing, etc.
