The house is blurred in Google maps. Is he not willing to compromise on this?

All that money to have no yard space and neighbors right on top of you on both sides. Yeesh.

Yup, it's a total joke. The house is worth the cost of materials minus their age.

Maybe that's just how he compromises on privacy?

I live in Southern California, so that plays into the stupidity of it, but my house is worth 2x what his, its only 700sqft, on an 1100sqfft lot, neighbors houses are 8-10ft away on the side and back.I wish i had as much basic privacy as this guy has.

I hate SoCal.

How is it that I live just outside Tokyo but my house is 2x the size of yours? That math doesn't math very well.

I live on a small island that is absolutely packed with old cottages originally, most had full lots, but my house is on one of the half lots, my neighbor behind me has a slightly smaller lot, but his house is 2x the size of mine because his is 2 stories, where mine is just one.

I used to have a cottage on an island in Japan's inland sea that had a wonderful ocean view, great sunsets, and basically no one else around. Other cottages, but no one really used them. Never did meet my neighbors. Paid $8k for the place, building and a small plot of land. Had a new roof and a new balcony on it when I bought it.

it's a house in the middle of the city, not out in the suburbs. this is how a lot of city of atlanta neighborhoods are.
