A friend of my parents owns a large vegitable farm and stand in Loudon on the ridge road and has plans of putting up a large barrier to prevent anyone else from enjoying his view, since he has to pay a tax on it. We will see, think he was just blowing off steam, but I cannot blame him if he did. We would be talking about a 1/4 mile of road frontage.

You cant be serious,,,, I was obviously kidding about a view tax. How do you fairly assess such a tax??? That cant be right,,,

So if I take this on a wild leap of faith as legit, can you match this madness with equal madness and apply your parents friends plan with a twist where you put the barrier between you and the view and avoid the tax???

God help us all if this is correct,,, we are really coming unglued as a country,,,,
