Evidently, years ago this house was built too close to the road. Apparently, no permit which means, no regard for setbacks and no consultation of the master plan
At the time, it probably felt safe because no road expansion, no immediate threat
But today🤔
The road has come to claim its space💯
Now the owner is left with two choices👇🏼
1) Evacuate (normally, there’s no way this house will stay in that position with the expansion of this road)
2) Or stay at their own risk as always
This is the reality many people ignore when building, urban development is not static
What looks like a smart shortcut today can become a costly mistake tomorrow and unfortunately, in many cases there’s never any kind of compensation ✍🏽
NB: I have said it here severely, respect building norms and consult the master plan before construction or one day, development will catch up with you and while others will be happy with development, you will be devastated ✍🏽
