Abandoned. I think that is the delineation. Great point!
I feel that if you can show something is abandoned, it can be up for grabs, including my personal property.
Now to define "abandoned."
In my home town, a potentially lucrative piece of real estate was fenced and not maintained because the owner was pissed at the city. The only reason they held it was because "fuck you city." I could see an argument as saying that it is abandoned and should be forced to be used. I can also see that as free speech because the owner was making a statement about local ordinances. Is it abandoned or an active political statement?
- brewdad 3y agoI see an argument for the addition of the fence as "improving" the property and therefore showing that it has not been abandoned. Aside from the obvious goal of keeping out trespassers, I'd be willing to bet the fence was added based on legal advice. In a few years there will probably need to be some further "improvement". Perhaps as simple as replacing the fence.
- vintermann 3y ago> Now to define "abandoned." We're going to do that on a case by case basis depending on reasonable things like the user's need for it, other people's need for it, what the neighbours think of it etc. With courts and whatnot. And there's nothing you can do about it.
