So she hasn't maintained the hedge for 23 years, and is complaining that someone tidied it up?
Wait a minute, what are we talking about, here?
The lady that complained had a hedge growing at the edge of her property, along the property line. It was overgrown and growing into the street. It was growing into the street for at least 23 years, going by what the article says. The man got fed up and cut the street facing side himself, and now the lady is complaining.
If you're talking about her bush getting trimmed - giggity :D
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.
Literally the next line:
Everyone seems to be siding with the old man, but I'd like to see a before picture before I congratulate the man standing in front of the most poorly trimmed shrubbery I've ever seen.
