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.

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.

Hmm? Actually paying for property you wish to enjoy. What an interesting concept!
