Say theoretically you own an indestructable plot of land and you build a building, how high can you go until that building becomes no longer your property?
All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
“AskLemmy” or “No Stupid Questions” are better choice for this thread.
On the other hand most of these communities are tiny so for now I think the best course of action is to just appreciate the interactions
Like you can have a thought in the shower that is a question right? If there were 10000 people posting here like on Reddit then I get being Nick picky but it seems silly here
Rules exist for a reason.
Better a tiny, small community that abides to local codex of behavior, than a flock of lawless savages, who expect every place to cater to their personal needs & tastes.
Don’t like the rules, vote to change, instead of bending them.
Oh thanks, will keep in mind for other posts.
Depends on what you mean by “own”
You can build a building as tall as you want, up to the limit of local codes. So you can’t build a 3 mile tall building, no matter how well engineered, because it won’t pass local zoning laws. Nobody can build a building that overhangs your property, because they’d interfere with your personal property, and it wouldn’t pass local zoning laws.
You can’t interfere with airplanes flying overhead, because that’s an issue with the rights of the government to allow passage and commerce through “your” airspace.
It gets tricky with people flying balloons, kites, or drones through your property, but typically several hundred feet over any structures are considered shared airspace.
Of course if they’re flying a drone over your backyard to photograph you in places that would be considered private, that would be a violation of completely different statutes.
You appear to be saying I’ll never wave out my window to the ISS. 🥺
I mean, you CAN wave to the ISS, but it’ll be from your second floor window.
You can build up to y=319.
Back in my day, we could only make it to y=255, and even that was ridiculously tall…
Back in my day we could only build to y=128, y’all got lucky
In the US, usually approximately 500 feet, but it’s complicated.
