Reply to comment by [deleted] in Dover builds tiny home neighborhood by sheila9165milo

It will have an influence on the home values in the neighborhood so it is a concern for the residents of that area. It will also influence tax collection and the cost of services to the town which can be $10,000's per family if they have kids in the school system.

So it can have an effects on others.

Not only is this argument absurd, the social norm that people can make this argument without being laughed out of the room is also absurd.

I can't tell if you are serious? You really think your neighbors' homes has no influence on your home value?

I have to ask, are you a home owner? Your statement seems really out of touch with the realities of home appraisals and realestate evaluation.

I just don't think that effect justifies giving everyone who lives nearby veto power over property usage.

I am.

In some places people are really worried about those effects, and the result tends to be suburban HOAs.

The last couple houses I bought were in areas where the effect is drastically smaller. The last place I lived was a dense urban area where demand was so much higher than supply that even stuff like being next to a major airport had minimal effect on property values. Right now one of my 20 closest neighbors is a pig farm and someone got laughed out of town meeting for suggesting the town adopt a noise ordinance in response to their neighbor firing a literal cannon.

Yes. Different locations will have different levels of influence. But that in no way negates the fact that the type of homes in neighborhoods effect housing prices.

Your original statement seemed to indicate that was not the case. But yet the examples you yourself use seems to indicate otherwise.
