Awesome. Several years ago a neighbor approached my grandfather and asked him to remove some "junk" off a hill on my grandfather's property (the junk being his functioning tractor and a half-dozen oil barrels.) The neighbor whined that it was spoiling his view. My grandfather responded as any red-blooded American would, which is to say he hired a couple of guys to haul ever bit of junk on his place and a couple of other people's places up onto the hill. Old buses, a twisted quonset hut, piles of rusty barbed wire, junked cars etc. etc.

You don't tell people in this part of the world what to do with their property.
