One of my friends has to had to make sure the shrubs he wanted to put in were "on the list"..

We were talking a while back and he told me this little gem. When they were looking to pick a lot to have their house built on, trees were all around. So they picked the lot, but it was $5000 for each tree they wanted to keep on the lot.

You believe that shit? Trees are there, they pick a lot, but they said all trees on lot will be cut down and they can add new ones "from the list" or pay 5K a pop to keep an existing tree.

Just fucking stupid...
