Say you bought in hawaiian acres... and one of the lots next to you was vacant. You could write a letter to the owner asking them if they wanted to trade half the top lot of half the bottom lot.
So you would get a more square lot... Say 300x435 lot. My nighbor in orchidland was thinking of doing this with me. The only problem you would have to work out a "FLAG LOT" some sort of right of way Road that both would own giving the land owner on the bottom less land and the person on the top a driveway situation so he wouldn't be land locked.
If one could get around this maybe the top half could give a few more feet in exchange for a driveway. But the plus side could be both land owners split the cost of driveway maintenance. Could be a win win if done right. I never did care for the long narrow lot situation.
Something to think about I guess.
