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

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. From the article you linked to in your OP;

O’Reilly actually tried to work with the local historical society to salvage the house, according to Eurell (Fox News did not return requests for comment). But doing so would have required plowing through much of the property, a sacrifice the cable news kingpin was unwilling to make.

So YOUR point that "Most assuredly, Bill O'Reilly did not think twice about what he was going to do with that property" "fails on relevance" as well.

Look, it's a shame that this lovely little structure has been torn down, but it's gone now and the new construction is underway.

Again, according to the article that YOU linked;

Eurell said that based on the size of the foundation she’s seen, O’Reilly appears to be building a modest home — at least by Hamptons standards.

So maybe it won't be a McMansion at all.

And if in your town, which is on a mountain with a nice view of Manhattan, there lived a man who cut down trees to see Manhattan, then apparently the fact that it was on a hill didn't mean the view was "nice" for everybody. Right?

Do you have a nice view of the city from your house? Has it always been that way? Are there any zoning restrictions that keep someone from putting up a large structure or planting large trees between your house and the city, so as to block your view?

If not, I'd get on that, if I were you.
