Okay. Then the couple gets to sue the department that negligently issued the permit for damages.

The county granted the couple new permits, then voided them and halted construction when neighbors pointed out the house was originally built seven feet too close to the street and two feet too close to the home of William Hamilton, an editor at the Washington Post, and his wife, Jane Mayer, a staff writer for the New Yorker.
Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Mayer; ABC News reporter Jackie Judd; and prominent lawyer Michael Eig and his wife, Emily, are among those who have complained about the Duffys' home.
Kristin Gerlach, owner of Gerlach Real Estate Inc., also testified against them.

gee, I sure wish I were rich enough to have uppity neighbors..since I'm not, I'm damn glad..
The gov't agencies which originally approved the permit should pay all costs since they're the ones that screwed up..to have these people do everything right and then STILL lose everything because of beaurocracy makes me sick..

Then the couple gets to sue the department that negligently issued the permit for damages.And the department should also pay for their legal fees.

Neighbors from hell. They would put these people into bankruptcy over a couple of freaking feet?
What kind of people are they?

Seems like there must be more to this story. Why have all these people ganged up on this family, just over seven feet too close to the road and two feet too close to a neighboring house?

It really does look too close to the street. I think the approving authorities should be liable to the neighbors for the effect on their property value.

They should issue a variance and let the neighbors complain.
