Except, they don't have every "right" to build apartments. It's not zoned residential. In order to build apartments they have to get an "exception." They don't have a "right" to an exception. If they have that right, then I'm gonna exercise my "right" to set up a solar-powered pup-tent in one of the public parking spaces on Main Street, and buy a porto-potty for the space next to it for my own personal use, and run my playlist on my boombox at full blast all day long (which I can do, since there's no daytime noise ordinance).
