    I agree that this tree is dangerous and should be removed. Everytime we have a significant amount of rain and strong winds, I live in anxiety that it is likely to fall and crush my house. A similar tree fell a few years back, fortunately it fell across a number of backyards and no one was injured and the only property damaged were a few fences. It is a magnificent tree, but is growing in the wrong place. A tree of this size should never have been planted in a small, inner city backyard. Council should be more vigilant in educating residents of the problems of planting "unsuitable" trees in small backyards. No tree which grows in excess of 5 m. should be allowed to be planted and Council should draw up a list of trees, which are unsuitable to grow in the municipality (e.g. noxious, sewer damaging, too tall, cause allergies, invasive, etc.).
