There was one lot with a bit of frontage that ended at the cliffs edge. The developer offered it to the homeowners on either side at a bargain. They both refused to buy.
One homeowner told the developer, "Why should I pay you for it, when I can use it for free?". He thought it would be impossible to ever build on the lot. ha ha
The builder then proceeded to build a huge house on stilts out over the edge of the cliff. The new home blocked about half of the view of the smart@ss homeowner, who then sued.
The court found for the developer.
