In recent years the exurban sprawl that I've referred to here earlier has quasi-surrounded him. In fact there's a boathouse in a bordering subdivision only a few dozen yards away from the skeletal remains of what used to be a boathouse on his lot. I'm sure the neighbours appreciate their view.

I have no idea what the land there is worth, but I'm pretty sure he could sell just part of it and have plenty of money to fix things up.

Nope.

People are weird.
