They have outlawed any and all tree trimming to protect power lines or anything
else. Scrub brush is more important than human lives. Trees and branches get
blown onto power lines, causing fires and burning thousands more trees than
would get trimmed.

Only in California can you get fined for trimming a tree that blocks visibility
at an intersection, or be fined for having a tree that blocks visibility at an
intersection, or fined for removing said tree if it dies, or be fined for
failing to remove a dead tree.
