www.familyhandyman.com/article/what-is-a-spite-house"We've all had bad neighbors, but were they really bad enough to drive you to build a spite house? Have you ever seen an old, impossibly proportioned house? Or one so oddly placed you think, “There can’t possibly be any logic to how or why it was built?” If so, you may have seen a spite house...." My notes: "In simple terms, a spite house is one built specifically to inconvenience and irritate the other homeowners in the vicinity. This could be accomplished by obstructing a nice view, blocking the light or cutting off a pathway or shortcut." Well that's just not neighborly lol Have you experienced this yourself? I have never heard of it before but thinking back, I think I know a few houses that would be considered in this category!

ZandraJoi, Never experienced it myself and never even heard of it. But, you're right, I've seen houses that could be called that...definitely 'un-neighborly'

Hrmmm, that kind of explains a few houses I've seen around my town, but I can see people doing that. Not sure if I would stand for that if someone did it to me.
