I was civilly disobedient and had my trees cut and chipped. We are not a geriatric community, but there are a lot of elderly, so they cant do it on their own. More serious problem is that most people dont have the skills to fell an 80 foot tree on a 50 foot wide lot next to another 50 foot wide lot. There are a lot of vacant lots the are owned by nonresidents. And large chunks of Cambria are owned by the state and conservation groups. They arent doing anything yet.
This sounds like a nightmare. Here in Australia we (population and authorities) are really sensitive to the hazards of bushfires and what can happen when you let fuel loads get out of control [1]. Lets hope for all your sakes that the latest el nino brings the risk down - unfortunately it is going to have the opposite effect for us :(
