"How does one spell favoritism?" Or to re-phrase, a town that only enforces zoning regulations to some.
We posed this question as our courteous silence for over 20 years has come to an end. April 27 was the last straw. A certain "entitled" neighbor decided to move his 100+ year old house with professional explosive contractors on site, without ever getting a building permit or notifying the town, police or any of his neighbors. A recurrent pattern of behavior and openly defiant narcissism.
This caused some late pregnancy cows to stampede and crash into each other over the course of the day as they repeatedly heard sirens and blasts from the dynamite less than 75 feet from our dairy barn...and drilled well..why is it that this whole town must get a building permit while we have watched for 20 years, "minding our own business," as this neighbor has never gotten one single building permit-for his multiple commercial construction projects, which some actually might have fallen under Act 250 jurisdiction with the state.

It appears that some in our small town do not need to abide by the same rules/laws as the rest of us. Doesn't it "take a village?" Maybe not this one. Our barn is across from this house where blasting occurred directly behind it.
Later, some broken windows were found in our dairy barn. Police said possibly a high velocity instrument (like a stone flying) caused it. Imagine if someone was checking the mail at that time? Road was never blocked off during the entire two days of blasting. Who would want to move a house anyway? Really?
