I thanked my neighbor for cutting down the huge tree in his front yard. I now have water views from my living room. Probably adds $25K to the value. But with the prices of housing dropping, its probably a wash.

The only reason he cut it down is that someone from his home owners insurance company looked at his property and he got a letter that said his insurance would go up by $2K if he did not cut down the tree!
