Canada-who cares?

Three million buys a lot of ammo.

Quebec , the place with Language Police ,LOL

All the while California allows homes to be built right into the forested areas of the state, forcing firefighters to deal with saving lives first rather than containment during the wildfires.

[Leaning Right]

Okay, so the house is too close to the street by 28 feet. But the owner got an exemption. The solution is simple: move the street back 28 feet.

I really should open up my own consulting business.

local city will need to pay for it.

the demolition or coast of the house?

From the looks of the house and the story involved it appears there were greased palms all around.

I wouldn’t live anywhere I can see my neighbors.

After the Great Reset, law will be whatever they want it to be. “Back to the cotton fields there Mandingo.” “ Shut up and work for your masters”.

He should demolish it for looking like a prison. Yuck. That’s some ugly crap.

neighbors who complained the property was out of character with the rest of the neighborhood

Translated into English: The neighbors were jealous of his $3 million mansion.

Sue the city for cost/relocation/and emotional distress from the butthurt neighbors.

[Buttons12]

You have every right to property that the government is willing to tolerate.

Payback has always been a Hillary.

The judge and the neighbors should find out.

Le Quebecois. You know. Wine drinkers. Pea soup eaters. French Canadians!

Tabernac! Les Bastards!

Three million would buy a really nice armored bulldozer, too, much better than that homemade job in Greeley, CO some years back.

“the city’s exemption was an illegal abuse of power.”

If that ain’t making Orwell blush I don’t know what will. And you just know some a hole neighbor would have complained if it was too close to the water moving it back the 28 feet they demanded.

Note to self. NEVER live in a neighborhood with HOAs. Without exception they are all run by librarian type tyrants who LOVE the power.
