At a recent Bratenahl village planning meeting, neighbors of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce criticized the celebrity couple for being “absentee” homeowners and for landscaping changes that could disrupt local peace and quiet. Resident Katherine Bolton expressed concern over potential sewage issues costing up to $75,000 and neighbor Chuck Bauernschmidt complained about extensive tree removal and a planned fence near Lake Erie. The stars’ representative defended their actions as necessary for privacy and security following the largest sale in Cuyahoga County last year.

Story summary
At a recent meeting of the Bratenahl Architectural Review Board in Ohio, neighbors criticized Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, calling them "absentee" residents who have disrupted the community's peace and quiet. The discussion centered around landscaping plans near an old sewage line shared by Swift and Kelce’s property and that of resident Katherine Bolton, who has lived there for over three decades. Bolton warned that planting evergreens could cause catastrophic sewer backups, potentially costing her up to $75,000 in repairs. She is currently consulting with the couple's attorney about this issue and expressed frustration at their lack of involvement in community matters.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
