    Considering what those trees look like now, they should be also charged with property damage and sued for the cost of replacing most of those trees.

      LA does have some stupid fucking tree laws, though.

      I can’t speak for this stretch, but in much of the city the private property owners are responsible for maintaining the canopy along their street, not the city. Which is just idiotic beyond all reason and contributes hugely to their urban heat island effect in poor neighborhoods that cannot afford to maintain real trees.

      It’s actually pretty common in LA for those trees to be trimmed like that. I have no idea how “healthy” it is for them, but they don’t die, at least. And the canopies regrow just fine. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was causing some harm, but in this case, it’s a pretty standard trim.
