[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This case is especially interesting because it did not involve an apartment building, but adjoining rowhouses.

The smoker lives in the English basement apartment of one rowhouse, while the woman who sued lives in the next door rowhouse. She was also complaining when the man smoked outside.

The guy is now banned from smoking on the property in which he lives. Which opens a whole can of worms when it comes to nuisances of rowhouse living.

Can I claim that my neighbor’s curry use bothers me and sue? What about the guy who smokes a pork should all say Saturday in his yard only 20 feet from my rowhouse windows? What about my neighbor who sprays harsh insecticide to treat mosquitos?

This ruling is going to enable a flood of lawsuits. [/quote]

Not really. Cities have had nuisance laws for a bajillion years. What’s new is adding pot to the list. [/quote]

The point that you seem to miss is that there cannot be a double standard. [/quote]
