Pattern with a lot of people who purchase homes in the city, violate the law, pay the penalties and still able to move forward with their projects, which sometimes, unfortunately, changes the character of a community.

Are. So we will be very conscious of the fact that an area of the open space will be lost by this building. This is of great concern to us because it closes us in when we go out in the backyard.
