Whoah, that interpretation seems pretty wild to me. They put a lot of effort into building a pizza oven and someone else tore it down, and they should feel nothing about this?! If an artist sells their painting they shouldn't care if the new owner paints over a section?

Beyond the sentimental attachment to the pizza oven, I'd be bothered by the sheer inefficiency of it.

It's totally reasonable to be sad someone tore it down, but you also have to accept that you lose any say over a house when you sell it.

> I'd be bothered by the sheer inefficiency of it.

This is the part that hurts me the most. I don't like when good things go to waste.

You're assuming they like pizza and want an 8x8' pizza oven taking up space in the back yard....

Reminds me of the tale of the guy who was told by his realtor that he could put $20k in new windows and sell the house for $50k more. He did and it sold, and was immediately torn down.

Been renovating an old house with a large garden for almost ten years now. I tell myself this is better than building something from scratch, but it definitely doesn't always feel more efficient. It helps that I didn't have the option back then, but now maybe I do? Sometimes it's also hard to tell, in the moment, which things to keep and what to rip out.

You are allowed to be inefficient with things you own. Again, shouldn't have sold the house if they wanted to keep control of it.

Or be a rat bastard and tie a covenant to the land forever muahahahaha
