In the long run, ideally I hope my neighbor loses their house and it gets put on the block at $500k. I'll come in buy the damn thing , and drive a bulldozer right over the illegally planted palm trees and magnolia before I rent it out.

I believe Steve Jobs did that with his annoyed neighbor ,except he bulldozed his neighbor's entire house.

Petty, I'm not. Vindictive if you cross me, yes probably.

Besides, planting root damaging trees on a property line isn't really something you want to f around with. The only thing worse would be to plan bamboo, which is twice as destructive to foundations and concrete.
