"Actually, I feel sorry for the guy."

Gee, do ya think?

It's not like there's any kind of obsessive/compulsive disorder going on, or anything weird like that. It's called property rights.

Kind of sad, in a way.

betamax: Here's another house isolated in a parking lot in san jose, Ca.

I also remember hearing about a feud in San Franscisco where the guy who owned the land around the guy who wouldn't sell built a 50 foot high concrete grudge wall around three sides of the isolated property eclosing it in a dark chimney.

LOL. Reminds me of years ago, in Texas, I visited a large shopping mall and, right in the middle of the asphalt parking lot was someone's house with a little lawn and white picket fence around it.

I guess sometimes they just refuse to sell.

Any idea what the developer is offering? It would be classic if they were 3% away from each other.
