Well, my whole neighborhood will be getting slapped with fines. We're all on adjacent, 5 acre wooded lots and have very little control over which way our trees grow. We'd all have to have our properties surveyed and then hire tree companies to come in and "prune" the offending branches.

I can tell that a bunch of city dwellers gave this a lot of thought.
