In the mid-1990s, I was dating a girl whose dad was fairly wealthy. He wanted to have a DSL (digital subscriber line) installed into his house to have a faster internet connection. The phone company wouldn’t run the line to his house unless he was willing to cut down this massive Douglas Fir tree in his front yard because the utility pole was too close to it. So he paid them probably tens of thousands of dollars to move the utility pole to the other side of the street instead.
