Never again!<BR/><BR/>Those who are tenacious and resourceful can win a battle like that one.

I honestly don't know why, once he knew this was a problem, he didn't just ask: What do you want? I suppose we have been socialized to use force first and negotiate afterwards. Good for you for standing fast. No surprise though!Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-14848503165613441942008-12-17T15:25:00.000-05:002008-12-17T15:25:00.000-05:00You sound like my daughter...who my sons call "the...You sound like my daughter...who my sons call "the force" !!

I know little about matters like this and would have had to rely on someone like you and your husband for guidance. I don't think that would have happened in our city. The city controls green spaces and parks have to be included in plans for residential development. A developer would have to apply the city for re-zoning.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-28090931643333161082008-12-17T00:56:00.000-05:002008-12-17T00:56:00.000-05:00Fighting the good fight.

Reminds me of when a landlord decided to treat us badly when we moved out of a rental in college. We didn't buy it and took her to small claims court. The day we were due in court, her husband drove up and handed my husband a check for the amount of the deposit. Yippee. We won too. Winning feels good . . . especially when you are right!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776482696203224923noreply@blogger.com
