The Guy who owns the property next to mine, is a logger. He clear cutted his property a number of years ago. I believed it was equipment from Finland. Really impressive to watch. Low impact to the land. The loader was similar. Amazing stuff they have out now.
Logging country West of me.

I saved that to my favorites. That is an extremely impressive piece of equipment. No doubt about it!
But it would be nice if builders and architects and designers had the balls to build around some of those trees. Maybe it was a sewer route. Who knows?
While that beast was fun to watch, I wonder how many wasted hours could have been used to save some of the trees.
Yet, I still couldn't wait until it ripped through another victim.
I'm Wierd.

Trees to close to a structure are a serious fire risk, and up in the NW they are a big risk when the wind kicks up.

That is a Affirmative. One of our neighbors had to do some re-roofing and framing when a tree decide to fall on his house.
The Fir trees here require a stand of trees to stay up right. The root structure does not go deep. After the logger neighbor clear cutted his property a wind storm came up. We lost one tree but another person lost 70 trees because of the clear cut. Our property is more shelter from the prevailing winds.
Also a Large old maple, fell over when it was bumped by a track hoe when the property was being cleared. The maple root ball was rotted and the tree was just balancing itself on what was left.
Trees can look healthy but that may not mean they are safe.
Then as you mentioned, there is fire hazard. Older construction is more vulnerable to fire. We re-roofed our house this summer, we hand cedar shakes. Cedar shakes makes very good kindling.

If they were asparagus…wrapped in some thinly sliced smoked copper river salmon, with chive, orange zest, and very light hollandaise… we would have Asparagus in Bondage, but they are not. It disturbs me we can’t find alternative materials or a way to live here… we really need to find a balance…every now and then I pull out the picture of the earth taken from the moon… its fragile beauty quiets my mind and frightens my soul.

The logging done now in the US is low impact, using similar techniques as low intensity agriculture. In addition to that there are more protected old growth forests and national parks.
This world isn't as fragile as people think.
