    Went to read more about it. On 2017, a judge decided that section 215 cannot be used for aesthetics reasons, so she could keep the white and red color scheme and finally was allowed to renovate the house but only with 1 basement and not with 2 level basement.
    Regardless if we think it was a waste of money, if we were in her shoes, we would also fight for our rights. She set a precedent in court that can also help other people.
    I was shocked how there were hints of corruption and everbody was ok with it. The man contacting somebody from the council and checking "what can be done" (not if it was right or wrong per se), is a clear example how they try to twist a regulation (section 215) in their favor to cut other people's right.
    Some people want to blame her for being petty but who really started this was his hypocrite neighbor that could not out bid her and probably rallied the neighbours to block her plans to renovate, when they at some point also renovated their homes and have a 2 level basement.

    When I first saw house I was like, what a terrible neighbor; however, after watching the video I was like, "you go girl." And she's right, her neighbor is an absolute hypocrite. I think the neighbor was simply ticked off that he wasn't able to purchase the building. Believe me, if the neighbor had purchased the bldg I can guarantee you he would have done renovations and could have cared less about disturbing his neighbors.

      @@andrewtowell6074 nope. When he bought the home he lives in, you know the one right next door to the property with red stripes, he renovated his home for 6 months. Guess what he added to his home... a two story basement WITH A SWIMMING POOL!! Literally the exact same thing she wanted to do to her property. So he can renovate but she can’t? He is just mad because he lost the bid to her. He was going to add onto his home by renovating the red striped home to match his current residence. So again, if he would’ve won/bought the property he would’ve renovated it the exact way she would’ve but because he didn’t get the home then no one can renovate?! I can’t explain this any more clearly but I feel as if this is too confusing to explain. LOL

    I have worked on the building industry all of my life and one thing that I have always despised is that allot of people want theirs but don't want anyone else to have the right to the same. People are so pompous that they think everyone should be required to do as they think. Planning commissions were formed to regulate continuity from outlandish things but have become a way for people to get power over the rights of others. This is a problem worldwide. In the US we have neighborhood covenants run by a council that is formed to keep a certain standard of living in that area. But they end up being taken over by people who are draconian with their interpretation of the rules. They are out every day looking for anything they don't like and find a way to use the rules to force people to do what they think your property should look like. And like the tyrants that they are anything they don't like will be punished as an infraction. They will make sure that you can't have anything better than them. I lived in a neighborhood that had a rule that you could not farm your lot. When I planted 4 tomato plants in my flower bed I was told I had to remove them by the home owners association because it was considered farming. I sold my house and purchased a neighborhood with no HOA. Now I get neighbors who tell me they don't like the type of flowers I planted and they don't like the fact that I have a camper. Everything looks great but they just want to complain. I wish missarible or envious people would just keep it to themselves instead of spreading their misery around.

      When/if you purchase a home, make sure you research the area. Make sure that the surrounding properties hold their value, make sure you have upstanding neighbors, pay attention to the price per square foot, any additional land is a positive, and be sure to weigh your options as far as liabilities, repairs, and maintenance.
