British Court Orders Man to Demolish His Family's Home

His neighbors cares.

Then his neighbour is the type of person that should just be ignored.

So..... if you do something on your property which devalues my own property by say 100k, I should just shut up and take it? Nonsense.

This situation is similar to this; 5 people are having a wonderful time together, sitting around a table chatting. Then suddenly a large brute comes in, behaving like a barbarian and making everyone around the table miserable. You say the brute has every right to do as he pleases, without regard to what others think and if they don't like his behaviour, they should leave. I say the other 5 have the right to tell the brute to either behave in an appropriate manner or leave. The State in this example, would be represented by the bouncer who will throw the brute away if he doesn't play nice.

Never hear that logic when the states decides to built something.

Then you'd better get that hearing checked out. Or you could learn to read norwegian, I have the last few weeks of Aftenposten here and there's a zillion articles on the new building projects in Bjørvika there...

Having one power trash parts of the country does not mean it's a great idea to give everyone the same right.

What power, isn't like he's building it on the land of someone else. Robberment should just do it's real job and stop bullying when a sheep blah's out of sync.

The state is merely acting on behalf of his neighbors who don't like seeing their property values drop, frags.

Let's try an example.

Frag, you own a modest dwelling at the foot of a hill over looking some countryside. You like the rural life and wanted to get away form it all.

Someone buys up 4 fields in front to make his new dwelling. Something classy that exudes taste. It so happens that he too thinks the view is nice, so he has the house facing the same way as yours in front.

Sadly, his is 4 stories high with two wings, all but obliterating your view. He also decides he needs privacy, so builds a wall around his new state.

It's his land, but I hope you see that it still impacting on those around him.
