The meaning behind the word ownership does lead some to assume that “if you own it, you’re king.” However, that’s not always the case as real estate is subject to things beyond one’s royal power, i.e. building regulations.
As such, if those go ignored and folks end up doing things that aren’t “any of the city’s business”, then sit back and eat some popcorn as one display of malicious compliance snowballs into some heavy fines and “I told you so” moments.
