I say again, where did common sense go? If I as a neighbor to you, say in a california type neighborhood, in other words I could spit on your house from my kitchen. If I as your neighbor decide that I don't want to mow my lawn anymore, I'll just let it grow and grow and grow, until it is a field. I also will not paint my house, nor replace my windows when they are broken, I have also run into my garage door, so it's hanging there off the hinges, oh and I start collecting cars, so I have junk cars all over my yard as well.

Now, according to you, I can do that without any problems at all, after all, I am the one that has to live in it.

Well, you see, I am not just driving my property value down and making JUST my house look trashy, I am also driving your property value down, and making the entire neighborhood look trashy. So, you decide that my house looks really bad so you decide, since it is my property, that you are going to move. So you sell your house and someone else buys it, well, since that person bought thier house, when my house already looked like it did, then they have NO right to sue, BUT YOU DID, before you moved.

You bought your house BEFORE I did what I did, and drove YOUR property value down along with mine, but now that you have sold your house to someone else, and they moved in after my yard looked like it did, then they have NO right to sue me.

ARE YOU GETTING IT YET? or is it still too complicated for you?

If I live on a 5 acres out in the middle of no where, and you live up the hill from me on another 5 acres, I probably wouldn't care what you did to your property, but if you dump oil in the stream and it pollutes my stream as well, then again, I have EVERY right to sue your ass into next week. Your actions on YOUR property has effected me directly. Therefore I can and will sue you into next week if you wouldn't do anything about it.

Is that STILL too complicated for you to wrap your brain around?

What if I rent out the home to a large family of half Mexicans and blacks, who drive an old beat up looking rusted brown Chevy pick up and a large rusted bright yellow Cady, that they like to park right out front in the driveway, while they quietly sit out on lawn chairs, smoking hand rolled ciggerettes and watch the traffic go by. Are you suggesting that you have a right to sue me, or them? And if you are having trouble selling your home, which was suppose to be a quick easy sale - restraining order?

How about if I put in a small auto shop, which results in 8 to 12 cars being parked on my property, where their use to be just 2. My little business just increased the windshield repairmen's property next door to me. But you on the otherside took a similar loss. Do I have to sacrifice increasing of my property values to insure yours against decrease?

And what if your property also increased (but only for business purposes) and decreased as purely residential. Should progress be stopped to protect your preferred investment?
