Here we have a neighborhood, built around a lake, centered around the lake, landscaped to the lake, with the people having bought the lots in a planned subdivision where the lake was part of the plan. Now those folks have an ugly, naught but view-blocking fence in their backyards, built by a man who built the fence just for the sake of having them pay to take it down.
You might have a fine Jewelery store downtown someday. And maybe then some stinking ragged grifter will come to sleep near your entryway and p&ss against it. And the grifter wants $1,000 to move away. Would ask the city to pass a law against such, or will you advocate the right of freemen to stink, sleep and p&ss where they may?
Funny...all that work and intent, yet they never actually bothered to PAY for that lake.
Setting up one's property to enjoy someone else's property for free, then expecting some right to the latter's property, is foolish.
I enjoy the fact that my property is surrounded by someone else's hayfields. If the farmer decides to turn his property into a housing development or build a fence at our border, I have no right to stop him, other than to offer to buy that property at a mutually acceptable price.
There's room for judgement, and that judgement stops far short of the Korean store owner's rights to charge what he can -- for no one of his customers is forced to shop at his store only.A lake that none of them owned the shore around, that none of them made the effort to buy the shore around. He built the fence because they refused to discuss buying the property that they all took for granted and used for free...until he bought it.Here we have a neighborhood, built around a lake, centered around the lake, landscaped to the lake, with the people having bought the lots in a planned subdivision where the lake was part of the plan.

Your hypothetical stinking Demo....errr......bum actually resembles the homeowners more, as far as the lake property is concerned. They wish to use it without buying it.
