Livistonia Species List

I don't think any tall ones would survive here. I deliberately did not get a single trunked specimen but one that is a heavy clumper (at Barton Springs, Austin). A neighbor a few streets down had a tall specimen installed (pretty sure it was chinensis) but it did not make it long-term. 

Probably just bad timing for your neighbor's palm.  They're not very leaf hardy but very bud hardy.  Nurseries often sell pots with multiple seedlings like they do with Phoenix roebelenii that are solitary palms and not clumpers. 

My young Livistona alfredii had no damage after 27°F.  It might be a contender for zone 9a but too soon to tell.

Night pic of my bunches of L Chinensis after the freeze (29F) last night. Looking good. If the forecast holds, I'll be able to enjoy the shiny green for a few more weeks at least.
