The only thing more irresistably hip and stylish would be building the damn thing on a Native American burial ground.

Because, you know, we Americans don't buy enough stuff.

Is that what people mean when they talk about a gated community?

Are there no zoning laws in Seattle? Most places won't allow any new construction within 100 feet of an existing home.

Seattle is one of the most highly regulated cities planetwide. Apparently, this lady found herself at odds with the desires of the regulators.

I think here in Ohio, there has to be a 5 foot beautification strip between the properties. I might be wrong.

So, the laws don't count if you piss off the regulators in Seattle?

You're basing that on your assumption that there is some kind of restriction on building within 100 feet of a dwelling. There is no such law in most urban, and few suburban areas, anywhere I've lived.
