The area that these folks live in is pretty upscale for the Vancouver area. So, yes, there is quite a bit of money tied up in properties. There are also laws, by-laws and zoning restrictions limiting property usage. Add to that contractual obligations when purchasing or selling properties. Homeowners in Vancouver are very protective of their rights to land usage. Things like cutting down trees, or in this case, building (elaborate professionally designed) structures in trees infringe upon others rights and agreements.

I am confident that an architect working and living in Vancouver is aware of what can or cannot be done. The tree house itself looks nice. If he had built it on the ground he may have avoided some trouble.

STOP!

Gorilla warning! I am about to step out of my reserved Canadian politeness, so I will ....
