If what happens on the properties around you is critical to your enjoyment of your property, you should have bought them too.
You can't go to a fancy restaurant, order a salad, and expect to get a steak for free because it's necessary for you to properly enjoy the salad. If you really want a steak, you're going to have to pay for the steak.
- whiddershins 9y agoI can go to a fancy restaurant and have the expectation that the person at the next table isn’t screaming at the top of their lungs and vomiting on the floor. The restaurant example is actually perfect because a big part of what you pay for in a restaurant is not just the food. It is the service and ambience. Edit: My home price is based on access to the subways. I don’t own the subways. We happen to live in a system where the subways are run by the government, not privately owned. But regardless, I would do everything in my power to make sure the subways stay as good as possible, partly because I use them myself all the time, and partly because my home value is tied to them.
- closeparen 9y agoWe aren’t talking about people screaming at the top of their lungs and vomiting on the floor, but simply existing in homes. This is demanding that the restaurant leave perfectly good floor area clear and let a line form around the block, because more tables would ruin its quiet ambiance.
