I have two neighbors like this. We live on a slight slope, and they landscaped their property in such a way that the runoff from the road during heavy rains flowed across their property, causing minor damage. (The property had been there for 35 years with no previous problems.)
They petitioned the HOA (we're a small neighborhood with only 18 members) to make significant changes to the road so the water would be diverted from their property. At the HOA's expense, of course, not their own.
After a long battle, they finally did what they should have done in the first place, which was to create low berms along the edge of their property. But they now hate the rest of us, and will go to their graves believing they were done wrong.
This is the crux of the " LIBERAL REASONING " and " LIBERAL LOGIC " ..... even though they create and are the cause of the problem, they never want to be held accountable or responsible, and want to unjustifiably blame others.
