I lived in this neighborhood for 15 years and the tree house is a fixture of the community. So many Halloween memories with families and friends. This is bureaucracy in over drive and should stop.
Ryan supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehouseIn a deeply depersonalized city in which greedy builders and developers rip everything original down for profit, this treehouse is even more important. It represents a happy past and a place to gather in the present that isn't online. It personalizes the neighborhood. After the fires have destroyed the charm of the Palisades, this treehouse is even more important than ever.
Margaret Nagle supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehousethis treehouse was a big part of my childhood and something I look forward to when I go on walks around my neighborhood. tearing it down would be devastating :(
Clara supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehouseI lived in the area for 25 years and the treehouse was always a joyous place in the neighborhood!
David supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehouseAs a parent today who constantly fights “screen time” we can’t let an outside play place like a treehouse fall victim to the absurdity of bureaucracy and miserable neighbors. Stand up for joy and sunshine!
Jeff supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehouseMy sons and I walk through the neighborhood and it always bring joy. It’s creative. It’s beautiful. It’s whimsical. And the idea that anyone would want to tear it down is so sad. My son Odie just said “ why would anyone want to tear it down? It’s the best treehouse ever made.”
Neal supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehouseI could not imagine living through a "Hurricane Katrina" again, and having our city government focus on tearing down a treehouse that has been bringing Joy, happiness, and imaginative inspiration to children and the community for decades; rather than focusing on the rebuilding of what was our storm ravaged city (or in the other LA's case, the devastating fires). Many families in LA have had their lives turned upside down by these fires, soo many children have lost everything (much less all of their little "imaginative treasures" they held dear); it is challenging enough trying to explain to our kids why Mother Nature can attack, much less their City Council.
Amy supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehouseThe LA Dept. of Building & Safety should be held accountable for this egregious waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. The fact that they have pursued the demolition of a beloved, long-standing community landmark—one that has stood for over two decades without issue—demonstrates an alarming lack of critical thought and leadership within the department. That they’ve forced a family to spend over $40,000 in permits for a treehouse that has been embraced by the neighborhood and even law enforcement is nothing short of bureaucratic incompetence.
This isn’t about safety—it’s about power, inefficiency, and a failure to recognize what truly serves a community. Instead of supporting a piece of folk architecture that has brought joy to so many, they’ve chosen to erode trust and goodwill. The department needs to experience consequences for this reckless mismanagement, and leadership should be scrutinized for their inability to apply common sense. Drop the case and let the Polizzi family, and their neighbors, keep the treehouse that has become an irreplaceable part of their community.
Eli supported: Save the Sherman Oaks Boney Island treehousePlease save this treehouse that has brought so much joy to so many in the community. In the past, I was able to see it decorated for Halloween and was so amazed at the creativity of this family. Even though the Boney Island attraction has moved, I cherish the memories. The treehouse was also featured on the show Treehouse Masters. We’ve all been hit so hard with the fires this year. Allow this family and the rest us of us in LA to continue to have this landmark that brings us some joy.
