This agrees with the whole principle of "if you like your neighbor's trees, buy the property" by making the number of trees allowed to be removed proportional to the size of the property. So, if you don't like your neighbor's trees buy the property - <br /><br />Too bad that three council members are still unwilling to support the majority of community who have repeated said they want the canopy protected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-18438218668059489142012-06-23T11:29:54.996-07:002012-06-23T11:29:54.996-07:00And the rats, and the wolves--and the smallpox, my...And the rats, and the wolves--and the smallpox, my God the smallpox! Who will save the smallpox. The issue with tree removal in urban areas is not the lack of trees or the resultant nick of the earth's canopy. Rather it is one neigbor attempting to exploit the property rights of another, and soliciting the coercive force of the government to do. If you love the trees, buy the property! That you admire your neighbor's trees is the weakest argument possible for holding a gun to his head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-30662719067760725222012-06-23T10:04:28.787-07:002012-06-23T10:04:28.787-07:00TREES

This is government preserving our natural resources, preserving our salmon, preserving our clean air, and keeping our citizens connected to our natural world. Read Timothy Egan's piece on "Nature Deficit Disorder" and you'll be glad that our city believes in preserving what's left of our natural world.<br /><br />http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/nature-deficit-disorder/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-75842843436115410572012-06-23T08:31:23.609-07:002012-06-23T08:31:23.609-07:00Folks with views should work to make sure the city...Folks with views should work to make sure the city loses tax money based on lower property valuations if views are lost.<br />This is government over-stepping for sure.

We live a few blocks from Boeing Creek in the Richmond Highlands neighborhood & have 4 large conifers in our yard--& a snag created from a diseased fir. There are thoughtful, creative ways to promote habitat & protect ourselves from possibly dangerous trees--thinning, creating snags. Tree removal isn't always necessary. This ordinance will help preserve Shoreline's wooded beauty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-89811721483448098552012-06-23T06:04:33.112-07:002012-06-23T06:04:33.112-07:00Thank you City Council.

I have four beautiful cedars in my small yard and it's a comfort to know that future owners of my house will think twice before killing them. <br /><br />I feel fortunate to live in a part of Richmond Beach that is still wooded. We've had eagles, osprey, herons, douglas squirrels, etc all frequent our property due to the trees. My children have a great respect for nature and our neighborhood.<br /><br />Kudos to our forward thinking City Council and all who worked to make this new ordinance a reality.Frank Kleynnoreply@blogger.com
