Homeowner demands their neighbor’s new fence be moved after she installs it several feet into homeowner’s property: ‘[She] asked if I would be willing to just live with it due to the expense’

Friendly neighbors are great until someone decides to build a surprise fence and suddenly everyone cares way too much about where the sewer grate sits. It's all peace and waves on the driveway, right up until a few feet of hillside turn into prime real estate for new boundary disputes. The problem starts simple: one person wants privacy, the other wants their expensive dirt back. Before you know it, homeowners are researching surveys and calling lawyers just to find out who actually owns the inch between the yard flamingos.

Property lines in suburbia are basically an ongoing contest in stubbornness. Fences go up and suddenly inches matter more than friendships. Nobody wants to donate land, especially when every square foot could buy a new car. People act shocked that you don't want to let it slide, like it's a minor issue lost in a million-dollar landscape.
