"Grandfathering" existing property rights is a tradition as old as this
nation, and preceeded this nation in Europe (and other parts of the world).

an extreme health and safety reason to break with that tradition and to
invade the private domain of a citizens existing property. IMHO ...
subject to foolish bureaucrats, apathetic citizens, and incompetent judges.
