    But they can’t just “restore” the property, it was full of mature native trees/plants and for bulldozed.

    Oh God…tree law…I never realized how much I missed this.

        A house that increased her taxes tenfold and that the developers are saying she can’t have.

          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

            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.

                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.

                    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.

        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.
