It's the neighbor's decision
If you remove the oleanders without her permission, you'll be not much different from the oleander planting neighbor.
If the lady doesn't want them, by all means, help her serve the planter notice that she has to come and remove them and replant grass. But, be polite about it. The little old lady doesn't need any more animosity from the oleander planter.
As much as I like the idea of planting the hedge in the planter yard (where it belongs) and putting a junked out car and couch on your own front lawn, I don't think that will do much except up the level of tension in the neighborhood.
