I have never, ever seen a person happy with a new house. I am talking about some crazy things. One man came to a Town meeting in Wisconsin in 1995 and complained about the new subdivision of a corn field 35 miles from Milwaukee. It seems he bought one acre on the top of a hill from the farmer in the mild recession of 1957. The farmer needed some money. The homeowner wanted no houses where ever he could see because they would ruin his view. He claimed some promise from the now departed farmer gave him the view rights for 400 acres. This land sells for at least $25,000 an acre. A ten million dollar project for the Town to tax. $50,000,000 after the houses are built. No brainer.

I have developed land on the west side of a lake in Wisconsin and you should have heard the screams from the people who thought they had some right to a view of my woods forever. They did not like it when I did a selective tree cutting too. Even 'tho the subdivision plat was recorded in 1973, they thought they were getting screwed. They forgot the many years they had a clear view.

Wisconsin once said that boat lifts and houses must be the color of nature, or the color of the lake house. Some people painted their house with polka dots so they did not have to get a new boat lift cover.
