I'd already have a demolition permit for the home, with a promise on live TV that the debris will remain.
OK, the ascetic value is preserved in the tree, while the entire neighborhood value plummets due to a debris pile where the house was. Fines? OK, go for it, can't use the property anyway and it's gonna cost the city any way it gets sliced.
Note, I've not said I've demolished anything, just the threat devalues the neighborhood - especially once the permit was issued.
Meanwhile, I'd be on with the state insurance commissioner to delist that insurance company statewide. Hey, insurance company, the state understands your quandary and has fixed the problem for you - you are no longer allowed to conduct business of any kind within our state, have a wonderful day.
Now, the insurance company loses an entire state, property, life, health, motor vehicle, loans, etc.
Meanwhile, litigation ensues, seeking punitive damages 100 times the value of the property, house and almighty tree. And a PR campaign from hell, nobody's getting reelected, insurance company is the devil incarnate, the neighborhood property value is penny stock and I'm not gonna STFU.
Then, I start to fight dirty.
