    Psh, the trees are the easy part, trees (for the most part) stay where you plant them.

    Good luck reintroducing the pocono swallow, or even being able to afford to fly a Bird Law specialist out from Philly to determine damages.

    Seriously tho, this lady just got a $500k house and probably a 1/10th of that in damages for a lot she paid 22k for.

        It also says this was discovered when they sold the house. Hopefully that sale fell through with no clear title, but someone else may think it’s theirs

          According to the article I read yesterday there are squatters in the house refusing to leave

        Eh.

        I read an article a couple days ago

        She bought it super cheap when it was an isolated lot in an undeveloped area to be used as a retreat.

        Then this developer built a shit ton of house all over, even if her lot was the same, the area was drastically changed.

        Like, I get it, it sucks for her.

        But it would have been even worse if they didn’t build a house there.

          You just decided that what you think she should do with her property is more important than what she thinks she should do with her property.

            Nope.

            I’m saying she bought a lot in an undeveloped area, and now there are half million dollar homes all over the place.

            That lot is no longer remote.

            Now she’ll likely make a bunch of money and buy a bigger plot that’s more remote and likely to stay that way for longer.

            I didn’t take the time to explain every little detail, and it looks like a lot of people need them.

              Thats not the point, it was her block.
              She chose that block, maybe she liked the plants, the shape, the hill its on, the view, or had plans for a particular layout.

              Like someone stealing your car then saying “oh you can get a more expensive one with the insurance payout” when really you just wanted the one you had.

                It’s not a car.

                It’s a plot of land. One that she bought because it was isolated and natural.

                Now it’s a neighborhood full of rich people.

                It’s not the same as when she bought it, even if they didn’t build a house on her land.

                It’s not complicated

                  But it’s still her land not yours. She decides what she wants done with it. Regardless of if the situation changed in how remote or not the land is does not change it was hers to decide.

                    On the plus side, this thread is helping weed out a lot of people to add to the block list

      You don’t understand tree law. A same tree of about the same size and age must be transported and planted where the old one was. It can cost well over $20,000 per tree. They don’t get to just plant a sapling and say “20 years from now, you’re all good”.

      Then it also has to survive the transplant and a fair amount don’t, so must be replaced again if they fall over or die from the move.

        Tree law? Let’s say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
