    They can also be demolished in one's favor; this house could be replaced by something for public needs, perhaps a youth center, or school for music? I think it'd be mighty cool of Steve to replace it with something beneficial.

    Sometimes these irrational historical preservationists can be manipulated in your favor. My mother in law is using the sheds behind her house (which are historical stables) as a tool to prevent the town from widening a road and taking some of her land.



    That's a good use! I say good because the owner is advocating the designation instead of it being forced down their throat.

    What if an "accedent" befauls the home? say, lightning starts a fire...or an earthquake loosens the only joist not already "loosend" and thehouse falls...



    And what is the fine for saying F*** YOU and renting a dozer for the weekend...surly it is less than the $8Mn relocation cost

    You don't want the local building inspector mad at you - they would make it hell to re-build on that spot after you pulled something like this.



    I have been through the shreader already after they caught me doing un-permitted additions to my house.

    I have a fealing that the inspector can be bought for far far less than $8Mn, Everyone knows, when local governments stand in the way of development, it is likly because the right wheel has yet to be greased if you know what I mean.

    Many jars of termites.

    Some patience.



    Better make sure that they're native termites.

    I like the irony involved with the DRM argument above.



    The local authority should tell Steve he only had three chances to renovate his homestead and he's already used them.



    Sorry, rich boy.
