I always thought she looked like she had a stick up her b*tt.
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.
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?
Ah, don't you just love the Liberal Elite.
I assume the Duffys have a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker

With neighbors like that who needs enemies...

Linda Tripp's Pentagon file
Jane Mayer, the wife of William Hamilton held relevant unprivileged information about the violation of Ms. Tripp's privacy rights.

Mayer reported that as a teenager Tripp was arrested on a felony charge of grand larceny and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of loitering. Mayer also said that Tripp did not disclose the arrest in response to a question on her 1987 clearance form. Pentagon public affairs officer Clifford Bernath has said that he routinely released that information to Mayer.

"...and two feet too close to the home of..."
It wouldn't be too close if that home suddenly burned down.
But...seriously...if the old house had been okay there for years, why was the newly-renovated house suddenly unacceptable?
