This is a true story; it happened in Utah and was on the news!
Here's the story. A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this
neighborhood. He had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a
new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built. Apparently,
the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so
Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they
enforced the lower roof line ordinance. Mark and his new neighbor had
some great arguments about this as you can imagine - not great feelings.
The new neighbor had to drop the roof line - no doubt at great
expense.
Recently, Mark Easton called the city and informed them that
his new neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark
didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate.
When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what they
found...
