If my property makes yours less valuable, do you get to sue me for the difference when you sell?
The answer is NO to both questions, as you very well know. If I have no right to the benefit you receive from the good condition of my property, what makes you think you have the right to force me to improve the value of your land? It's called theft, and conversion of my property rights to your benefit, you communist. Worse, it's done by the State, at your behest, on penalty of DEATH if I resist.
I mourn the old man in this case, but I'm glad he took one of the thieving communist bastards with him.
