[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What jerks! Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean your not terrible for doing it. [/quote]

Right, what Courtney is doing is terrible. She should be ashamed of herself every moment between now and when she's forced to move out.[/quote]

There is no legal reason as to why she would be forced to move out. Since her property value will tank she probably can’t move out. She has every right to be furious. [/quote]

She's sitting on a half million in equity. She'll be ok when she moves.[/quote]

Why do neighbors have to move? This is dumb.

Also, have you done the math on a move up in this area lately? We bought in this neighborhood when the bigger models were in the mid-$400ks. That was a little over 14 years ago now. Even though our home has appreciated $500K or so, so have all the other homes. We'd have to sink all the profit and more into a move up. So, now you're talking $1M+ homes at an interest rate 2.5-3X what we currently have (we refinanced to do some remodeling and such during the pandemic) We don't want to move further out. Our incomes have NOT doubled or more in this time. And we have no intention of moving somewhere else - this is where jobs are for us.

You act like moving is a very simple thing to do. Maybe YOU have that kind of income flexibility. Most of us do not.[/quote]

I thought the addition made the neighbor's house unlivable. Won't she have to move?[/quote]

It didn’t make her house unlivable but it did reduce the value of it and it will be a lot less pleasant to live there dealing with that addition and all that it brings. [/quote]
