War of the Redwoods
Plaintiff: a Sunnyvale, California, man with solar panels on his roof; defendants: his environmentalist neighbors and their redwood trees. Verdict: a judge finds the couple in violation of California’s Solar Shade Control Act and orders them to cut down two trees that are keeping the solar panels shaded.

While I’m normally not a fan of cuting down trees, Treanor and Bissett should make an effort to be responsible neighbors and trim their redwood. Ultimately, they do have to live next door to this guy. Nice post, Shirley.
