I am an appraiser trainee by profession and I look at it from all these perspectives: do they have permits to build? What is the effect on value? etc. I was never so relieved to hear that they had all their P's and Q's dotted in terms of this project. There is nothing the city can do - if they tried to reverse approvals, I think the Hyneman's would have a good lawsuit. Changing the law after the fact - that is asinine as well, but I guess the city felt they had to appease. So I wonder what they changed - did they make it illegal to errect 2 story houses in this otherwise 2-story community? No gazebos can be built in one's backyard? I'd be interested to see. In the meantime, the Hynemans can rest in peace until someone tries to burn them out.... you never know - there are some crazy people out there! As for property values, the folks they interviewed on television last night looked like the whinniest idiots on the planet. The neighborhood has got to be full of million dollar plus homes there - this is just stupid!!! It is not ruining any property values - it will look great when they finish. these neighbors - all they have to do is plant a mature tree in the yard in the right position to block their view of it.
