http://newyorkrenovator.com/2008/08/who-owns-your-property.html The challenges of updating an 1855 house and yard Mon, 21 May 2012 15:37:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= http://newyorkrenovator.com/2008/08/who-owns-your-property.html#comment-565 Mizé Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:53:34 +0000 http://newyorkrenovator.com/?p=642#comment-565 Hi. It´s nice to know a little bit more about Amish, I think I identified myself with them. The same thing happens here but in a slightly different way. We Portuguese used to own half of the world (Tordosilhas with the Spanish)and now we don´t even own our land. The funny thing here in Algarve is someone from another country can build a house without having a ruin, and a local like me can´t, makes no sense at all. Well, all I can say is I´m not giving up my fight, at least I can talk their language. Best Regards. Mizé. Hi.

In New York (in the rural east, at least), it used to be Dutch landlords over tenents working and living on the land. Now, it's the same thing, only they are "our own people"!

I´ve been reading your blogs for a couple months but I didn´t comment much. This post made me feel like commenting because I´m in a simmilar situation with my plot here in Portugal. I feel like I don´t own it, and it makes me relly angry that local politics invade our rights. I´m telling my story to the world in my blog "My CountryHome". Best Regards. Mizé. Hi.
