One simple example would be that if your neighbor were to build a doghouse on your property and you objected, you would have standing to sue him.

If your neighbor builds his doghouse on somebody else’s property in another state, that person has standing to sue your neighbor if that person objects - but you have no standing or legal recourse to sue the neighbor.

Setting aside the cross-state aspect for a moment, let me try a similar hypothetical:

If your neighbor built a shed on his property that violated building codes because he got a buddy at city hall to overlook the codes and approve his build after you wanted to build a similar shed and was rejected earlier, can your downstreet neighbor sue because he is afraid that his other neighbor will now want to build a shed just like the other one that was illegally approved?

The hypotheticals can be pretty interesting illustrations of real scenarios.
