It brings the value of MY property down. If he wants to move out to the country, get the proper permits and open a junkyard, hey hurray for his side, but to bring down my property value in order to do what he wants, and it is a matter of private property rights is a crock. If it effects me directly, he has NO right to do it. 19

If I own a house and it is worth 50% less then my neighbors house, well, hey, good for him, but the fact is the house is there, it was built, it had the permits, it had the property, etc. 57
Do you now deny that your original issue was with disparity of property values? Stick to the issue -- YOUR issue that you started. Or, did it lose some of the credibility that you bestowed upon it? Your choice to learn and advance the dialog or fight swimming upstream.
