Are there buildings, trees, landscaping that will be destroyed and cannot be restored to original condition by the City? 

But if you are waiting for a drop in pricing you might not be seeing the forest through the trees. 

Without seeing the location of the vent pipe, it is tough to say, but what about tree branches near the top of the vent pipe?

In an effort to be a “good” landlord the property manager went as far as to remove trees the tenant did not prefer.After the most recent 5-day notice, the tenants behavior became increasingly aggressive.- The tenant formally complained that a faucet was now dripping as if to imply that the home was un-inhabitable due to this.- The tenant demanded the ability to pay rent via direct deposit.- The most recent event displaying the tenants state of mind is they texted the property manger that rent would be available for pick up at the home in 48 hours.When the property manger went to home the male tenant repeatedly loudly screamed to attract witnesses why the property manger was coming to their home and harassing them.

Old Chinese proverb: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

To pick the FRUIT you must start with the SEED and build the TREE.

Any possible way to increase sunlight by trimming trees,bushes etc?
