Firs of all the government doesn't have a money tree.

I'm in Pittsburgh so similar market in terms of age of housing stock and, as I said in another post, no palm trees (yet)

The best time to plant a tree is today or 20 years ago.

Even better, maybe plant a few trees next to them. 

The freezing rain coat everything and trees get heavy.

'Bout Tree Fiddy!

In general, it is common to need a permit for: material electrical, plumbing and HVAC work; structural changes to the existing house; additions to the home; decks and porches above ground level; structural roof work outside of reshingling; removal of hazardous material; adding new windows or doors beyond simple replacement; some landscaping work (large tree removal, driveway installation, curb cuts). 

The owner of these dogs should not be allowed to have pets, because they are clearly negligent and have abandoned their responsibility for supervising their dogs--and this type of negligence needlessly endangers the dogs, and other animals and people in the vicinity.  ...unfortunately, the world seems to be filled with this type of negligence and irresponsibility.Now, as a landlord, I would obviously look into all my options for getting the dog owning tenant to leave ASAP, and I would be documenting everything in preparation for a lawsuit against that tenant (and also to protect myself from a lawsuit from the other tenants). 

We just do it under the one shade tree.   

What about looking at a giant tree limb that's waiting to fall on your house, tenants don't think to report that-- but if you see it and catch it ahead of time, you'll be significantly better off.
