She said: “It’s an absolute mess. He’s gone back to the original fence. I have been in my house for 23 years and I have never ever seen the original fence. He’s not just cut it, he’s absolutely hacked it.”
So she hasn’t maintained the hedge for 23 years, and is complaining that someone tidied it up?
But she also did not ask him to trim it - imagine if somebody ended up doing your yard without your permission.
Honestly, the dude did a lot more good for the community and she should have been held accountable by the HoA to not let her hedge go onto the sidewalk, but I can see how she would be annoyed.
I understand why she’s annoyed, but he didn’t do her yard, he cleared the street. Everything he cut was overhanging the pavement, restricting access for the public.
Except per the article it seems to have grown quite a bit beyond that lady’s property. Here, the city will send you a couple notices, then do it themselves and send you a bill.
So the right thing to do would be to notify the proper authority and have them trim it as appropriate and send her the bill, which would incentivize her to keep it up in the future

Do they even have HoAs in countries other than the US? I always thought that was another one of our uniquely American insanities.
Just like everything that’s shit in America, HOAs were created as another tool for white supremacy.
