Sometimes trees do die, at that point they become giant hazards waiting to crush whatever is underneath it. Only then should a tree be cut down

Trees don't need to be dead to fall, and when they fall they can and do kill the occupants. After working in emergency storm damage I will never own a house with trees towering over it.

I bought a place with huge ash trees growing over it, and to pay a pretty penny to cut them down but they were already starting to lose limbs and it was only a matter of time.

Yup shits not cheap, but it gets real expensive when they add a new water feature into your kitchen and insurance denies the claim.

These chestnut trees are for *forests*, not people's suburban yards.
