Subject: Property values and altering your own property

Dr. Block,

This may seem a bit silly, but I would love to get your opinion on this. In the thread that I linked, this person is saying that painting your own house pink is a violation of the NAP- because it negatively affects the neighbor’s property value.

Dear C:

That person is wrong. I suggest that he read this:

Hoppe, Hans-Hermann and Walter E. Block. 2002. “Property and Exploitation,” International Journal of Value-Based Management, Vol. 15, No. 3, pp. 225-236; http://www.mises.org/etexts/propertyexploitation.pdf

Best regards,

Walter
