Bill O'Reilly tears down classic cottage to make way for a mansion

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. Not by any means. But this is already a neighborhood of Mansions, "Mc" or otherwise.

But, regardless of how one feels about Mr. O'Reilly, he isn't doing ANYTHING wrong here.

Not to mention that it isn't up to anyone on Du to "sanction" what a private person does with his own money within the law.

Sure, O'Reilly is a dipshit gasbag.

Sure, it sucks that he is destroying a quaint little WWII era house on the beach.

But he isn't the first. And he won't be the last.

Look at the Google maps link I posted. Move up and down the beach. There are only 4 other houses on that stretch of beach and it seems to me the house in question is now the unusual one. The next nearest private residences on the beach side of the road are a mile to the West. The closet structure to the East of him on the same side of the road is a motel, about 8/10ths of a mile up.

The point I am making is that this is not a lovely little cottage in the middle of a row of other lovely little cottages.

And he bought that land. He is free to do with it as he sees fit within the law. That includes zoning restrictions.
