Neighbor Problem.....

This is a true story, it happened in Utah and was on the news.

Here's the story. A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built.

great expense.

I am not impressed with folk who build such large houses especially when it is in violation of previously agreed upon local rules. It is someones resposibility to be aware of the local rules. It would be easy for me to consider such a person unreasonble especially considering the vent.

I especially think that vent shows how little regard that person has for the surrounding landscape. While it is easy to understand how folk with money expect and demand to have their way, it does not make it right or even reasonable.
