I understand that getting advice from online isn't going to be the best way to go. But since I know there are a lot of people on here that like giving advice and stuff of that nature, I thought I'd just ask.

It's not like we're going to go up to them and say, "According to so-and-so on Greekchat.com they say you have to..."

And no, we don't have to do anything about it right now - unless of course the brick wall falls down.

About saving the tree - I highly doubt the tree is of any importance to this guy. First of all, he's only lived in the house for maybe the past 5 years, whereas this tree has got to be at least 20 years old. And secondly, he doesn't take care of it... I don't know, but if there's something that means that much to me, I'd take care of it.

Also, a wire fence is not an option. Living in Southern California, you don't get a lot of privacy to begin with, since all the houses are built thisclose so having brick walls are more of a necessity.

Lastly, we're not trying to make a buck here. We just want the guy to take care of the tree, or take it out, because it's not just damaging his property anymore.
