I'm curious.

Was your feeling "He has done something I wish he hadn't done, so I'm
mad at him" or "He has wronged me--done something he wasn't entitled to
do--so I'm mad at him."

I can easily see the former, find it hard to justify the latter. At
least, I can't see why you (or anyone else) would have an automatic
right to control the use of any land you can see--and the house you live
in was presumably also built where there once were trees.
