Well, buying a property in the firstplace adjacent to an empty lot (That ISN'T protected land/forest) is basically breaking real estate rule numer one...location, location, location. If the land isn't protected, and especially, if it's zoned for anything other than residential, then there's nothing that can be said/done. The individual took the risk to buy beside it or near it, and they are losing out.

I think the same can be said for people that buy homes in the flight path of the airport, or in the Glebe, within earshot of Lansdowne. Nobody forced you to buy in those locations, and you knew what was there, and what could potentially be there. Too bad, so sad.
