Default Need Palm tree info and damage they can cause

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone can provide some additional info regarding palm trees and damage they can cause. My neighbors many palm trees, but in particular one very large one is causing our common wall to break and tilt to our side. This is causing structural damage to our garage as well as future damage to our patio floors etc...if it falls. My question is this. Can the palm trees roots be causing this? I ask because neighbor says it could be the walls weak footing or loose soil. Personally, I dont believe this since in the last 3 years the wall has split/cracked at least 1.5" and it must be the pressure from the trees against wall. Any advise?
