Why Would They Do That?

This HOA made the decision to cut down state-protected trees that dwelled in the courtyard behind these houses. Not only were the trees protected, but in this specific area, you need a permit from the county to cut down any tree at all! Which begs the question: Why would they do that? Did these trees bother anyone?

If they haven’t been fantastic (and from this decision, we’re going to assume that’s the case), they could end up being reported to the local authorities and owing tons of fines. I hope it doesn’t come back on the residents. They’re already upset about what happened. They don’t need to pay for it, too!
