Show summary

Residents of a coastal community are resisting the efforts of one family to build a large house on the family's land. ████████ ███ █████ █████ ███ ███████ ███ ████ ██████ ███ ████ ██ ████████ ██ ████████ ██ █ ████████ ██ █ ██████ ███ ███████ █████████ ███████ ███ ████████ █████ █████████ █████ ████ ███ █████ █████ █████ ███ ████████ █████████ ███ █████ ██████ ███ ███████████ ████████ ███ ████████ █████████

Summary

Residents of a certain community argue in favor of the unstated conclusion that a family should not build a house on the family's own land. Why? The landscape was featured in a painting by a beloved painter; adding a house to it would change the landscape and thereby damage the community’s artistic and historic heritage.

Notable Assumptions

The residents’ support describes a consequence of the family building on the land—damage to the community’s heritage—but it fails to establish that this means the house shouldn’t be built. The residents assume that it’s justified to oppose a construction project if the project would damage the community’s artistic and historic heritage.

To help justify their reasoning, we’re looking for a principle that confirms that construction should be opposed if it would damage a community’s artistic and historic heritage. This should remain true even if the construction complies with town codes.
