Just something I thought of --
I was riding on a train through the Alps in Switzerland and a local resident I was talking to on the train told me that, when someone wanted to build a house in the area, that person had to put up a "stick" frame for a period of time and the neighbors could approve/disapprove the house based on whether it obstructed their views of the mountains, etc. If the neighbors complained, the person could not build his/her house to that height.
