Wrong. The correct answer is: Boroque Associative Mammophilia. And your limp-wristed ad hominem notwithstanding, the answer to the question as it pertains to the lake owner's fence is that the homeowners can make a case that the erection of a hideous pink fence constitutes a public nuisance, which would lay the foundation for eminent domain on the part of the city. The homeowners may also sue on the ground that a private nuisance is present, as a result of lowered property values due to the mere presence of said fence.

The court then can decide whether to condemn the property as an eyesore, or may simply decree that the lakeowner erect a less offensive fence.

Either way, the homeowners are going to lose in the short term. The lakeowner is going to lose in the long term. And the lawyers will collect their fees and drive to the bank.

BTW, the vitriol you display over hypotheticals regarding the building of decks by your neighbors betrays three of the four following behaviors symptomatic of Asperger's Disorder:

1) Marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures to regulate social interaction.
(Well, we can't really see what your doing right now, and by golly, if your neighbors do, you'll sue!)

2)Failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level
(BINGO!)

3)A lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people (e.g., by a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people).
(Yup.)

4)Lack of social or emotional reciprocity.
(It's like they're reading your mind.)
