As long as the lot is owned by the developer, it is "private property" (remember that assertion from Monday?).

Of course, I could be wrong. Never said that I was a lawyer (which I am not). And I sure am not foolish enough to sue a billionaire with a staff of lawyers just waiting for something to do.

And if you really feel compelled to "do something" send EdV, Mr Brown, and the nice folks at Harbor Chase flowers for being kind and supportive when they did not have to be.
Life is like a box of chocolates, never know what your going to get.....:-)
