You must like letting people walk all over you. I for one,
don't. It's not just the 1.5", it's the principle of not

what's the big deal with him and/or his contractor eating it
and paying to move 40 ft of fence? Good grief...

To put things in perspective. The back side neighbor's property is 21'
wide. It is a rare one that is more than the standard 20'. On my block most
don't even have 20'. There are a bunch of 18' and inches, some 18', four
that are 16.25' and one that is 12.5' wide.

My back yard is 20' x 29' 5-3/4".

Land here is worth about $800/sq ft. Maybe more. There are no empty plots.
It makes it hard to apportion between land and house value.
