Why should they be illegal?


As the word implies "ransom". *They are a way to extort money. *Have a 6"
strip in front of someone house and if they want to pass your 6" strip of
"land" ....

it's not extortion because the buyer of the house knows about the
strip when they buy the house and they factor it in to the price. it
doesn't suddenly spring to life later. The man I bought my house
from has the equivalent of such a strip to prevent me developing the
bottom of the gargen without bringing him in on the deal. that is
great. It meant I could afford to buy the house in the first place as
the price excluded the development potential.
