It's also held indirectly by owners of other properties which sale hinged on that restriction applying to all the properties on the street.
- pfdietz 2y agoIt's this dispersed ownership I'm objecting to. Ultimately it's indistinguishable from being a citizen living in a region. We have a way of representing such collectives: the government of that region. Only here, we have a law that's effectively undemocratic.
- Gare 2y agoYeah, ideally there would be a HOA-like collective of owners that could change it if they all agreed.

- duxup 2y agoI wonder if you could get them to agree to drop that interest?
