Now I'm losing my trees! (Updated)

I have a new landlord, and he did cut $15 off my rent, since he's going to put in a storage area in our rather large back-yard.

But he's having our trees cut down, these trees have been out here in front since before I moved in, 20 years ago.











These are the trees still standing, they will go too, soon.





(Update)

These are the two biggest ones in the front, it sounds now like they are the only ones in the front of the building that will go.
The trees in the backyard, (three of them) that are in the way will be chopped down to make room for the storage building.
The big tree in the foreground was infested with big black ants, my neighbors and I couldn't figure where their nest was, now we know.

3. That right there is a goddamn tragedy.

Perfectly healthy trees?

I damn near cried when we found out our giant oak tree had to go because it was rotting from the inside and was a danger to our house and the neighbor's house but chopping down perfectly good trees? That effin stinks.

4. This must be just too much to bear!

I'm so sorry! I love trees. They supply oxygen and they supply shade and they cool the planet and they house all kinds of critters and not once have they gone on the warpath against us. Not once.

5. OMG! Not smart!

Trees add $$$ to value of property!
Maybe landlord has other 'plans' for the property.

6. Did he tell you why he's doing that?

That is horrible and obscene.

My heart cries for your lost trees, my dear Archae!

8. He's cutting down the trees that will be in the way of his storage area.

So now maybe the ones in the last picture, up to the edge of the backyard may stay.
I hope so.

But the two big ones in front, (in the first two pictures,) are now cut down.

7. That is so sad. We had about 8 trees in our yard when I was growing up. They almost all got cut

down over the years. You'll remember them long after they are gone.

9. Do you have a fireplace or firepit? At least something good could come out of this.

I seriously can't understand why anyone would cut down a tree unless it is threatening a structure or interfering with utility lines. They looked perfectly healthy to me. Split the wood and give it a season to, well, season, and you'll be set for fires for a very long time. The landlord definitely fucked up with that decision.

10. What a short sighted stupid person he is. He just devalued his property.

He cut down trees, which people can't buy (mature trees) and which increase the value of property, to put in a storage shed, which will start DEpreciating the minute it's built?

Stupid stupid person!
