    I own property.

    I’m just saying it’s incorrect to characterize this woman as ass-headed, because it’s not a reasonable expectation to assume somebody might build on your land, or to have to spend your time and money to safeguard against that specific problem. Making sure there are no uncovered well, sure. Constant surveillance to keep out rogue construction companies? In a neighborhood? No.

    And whether you found out in a week or several months, it’s still a huge headache. So you notice a bit earlier if you’re paying close attention. Big whoop. You’ve still got a huge hole and a house foundation on your property. The developer still broke the law, and you did NOT break the law or do anything dumb by expecting others to adhere to property law, and doing what is required of you by law.
