If your building a home from scratch on a piece of land, be sure you check and understand all the requirements by the city. According to this article in the Mercury news, a couple who wants to build a big home in an exclusive area of Palo Alto is running into a buzz saw of opposition from neighbors and what-not for building their home. Some neighbors are trying to block the construction of the home claiming it violates privacy concerns because it is a two story home (apparently the concern there is that from the 2nd floor the owners can see into the backyard and house of the neighbors). The city gives to go ahead to build, but much to the neighbors dismay.
