Vanishing landscape

My town just issued a building permit for a house right where this majestic tree stands. Criminal! Three lots down from our house.

  1. It sounds like the tree is located on private property. Perhaps someone should have considered making an offer on the property to save the tree.

  2. I'm not clear on all the details but I think the town had to make a special exception to the setback requirements in order to fit a house on the lot - which they didn't have to. Oh well.

  3. Weird. I saw the picture and thought, "Wow, that looks like the Eastern Shore of Maryland." Then read that's where you live.
    Glad to find your blog!
