    Our next door neighbor did this to us building a mansion a few feet from our home.
    With our privacy and view of woods gone, we sold our house and moved away.
    A year later, Fed Ex added a transport hub at the local airport.
    It’s been 25 yrs and they’re still there in the path of dozens of low lying cargo planes, shaking their windows every day.
    Their selfish inconsideration, turned out to be a blessing for us.

    In a small town near where I live, they had an ordinance blocking, putting a manufactured home anywhere inside the city limits. A guy bought a very narrow lot and applied for a variance to put a single wide manufactured home on it and was denied. So he got a building permit to build a two bedroom home, and his plans were approved. The house is almost identical to the manufactured home in appearance. The city tried to force him to remove it in court, but this they were denied. This was 30 years ago. The house is still there today.

    Seattle native here: There's a different story behind the Seattle spite house -- a woman won the piece of land in a divorce from her husband (who lived in the house next door and who had to cede part of his property to her). She then built her house, beloved by generations of Seattleites and those beyond our borders.

All good, keep the 1 foot. I installed 10’ planters in front of each of her south facing windows, in Canada. Ya, it’s spiteful and removable, if she ever pulls her head out.

      It’s amazing how people can encroach on your land even in the country with 25 acres. Setting illegal fires, their livestock wandering over into your garden, pond, pool, manicured lawns, decks, poaching AND more, I kid you not. Even surveys, good fences and signs sometimes don’t save us!!!

      US is weird. In Europe there's distance requirement how you can build a house. In my case it's 5 meters from the walls to the end of the property. So it's 10 meters (around 33 ft) at the least between houses. Thus narrow plots of land are either useless or very cheap because you can't do much with it.

    A number of years ago in British Columbia there was a Equestrian facility next to a new subdivision, the homeowners in the subdivision went to court and won a suit to get the Riding School shut down on the grounds it was running a business on land zoned agricultural. I suspect the developers wanted to buy up the land cheaply for more development, but the land owner removed the riding school and went into pig farming big time.
    My next favourite was the fellow who put up a six foot privacy fence and was forced to take it down when his neighbours complained that there was a by law limiting fences to four feet. There was however no bylaw regulating colour or decoration of the four foot fence. The new four foot fence was bright red, at least what you could see of it between the row of old tires, rusty garden implements and empty soup cans.

    O how strange I should see this. In Standish in Lancashire there’s a church a beautiful small hr. Right in front of the church ,now behind a wall,is a very small piece of lawn. On this very small piece was built 3 small houses ( over a hundred years ago now) that were built there by a wealthy Roman Catholic to Hide the sight of the Church of England church from the sight of people going pass on the main road. It was called by all who knew it has SPITE ROW. My mother was born in one of them. Has each house became empty the church bought it and pulled them all down. The empty ground is still there. To her dying day my mum called it SPITE ROW.

      Thanks for this interesting information; i lived in Standish for a short time when i was a child and didn’t know about this.
      Many years later, when I lived in Cheshire there was a small country church for sale by auction. The church sold for a fair price, and as soon as the deal was done, the owner of the narrow strip (I believe 2-3 metres) of land forming the boundary of the church announced himself to the new owner to let him know his terms for accessing the property.

      I had a spite car during the 90s. My birthday was coming up and my parents forced me to buy a car they’d like. So, I bought home and dumped it on the driveway. I had to pay it off in three years.
      I hated the bloody thing! My parents expected me to be happy. Relatives noticed I was pretty peed off.
      I took it to work and I would let my workmates do burnouts in the car park. It was battered and bruised pretty badly, but I didn’t care.
      After about a year, it was towed to the local scrapyard due to engine failure.

    Better named "revenge" houses. Majority are built because the owners were wronged or about to be wronged. I know the feeling. I have a single story cottage on top of a hill. It has a fantastic view of downtown. All my neighbors live in single story, single family homes, Then the gentrification began. Developers started buying up empty lots. They bought the empty lot behind and I was at first excited to get a new neighbor, The first story went in...then the second story...then the third story. My view of downtown was now blocked, I had zero privacy as the house looked down on my lot and into my bedroom windows (have to keep blinds downs all the time for any privacy). My property value sank, I complained to the city but they told me the area was zoned for up to 50 feet high structures. I asked how that was possible in a single family home neighborhood. The city didn't care. They suggested I build a 3 story wall to get my privacy back. Yeah, my tax dollars were paying for that answer. I'm considering laying out a middle finger design in my back garden so anyone who lives in that house will see a middle finger pointed at them every time they look out their windows toward my house.
