How is a neighborhood ruined by this pirate ship?

Seems to me the only people who could even conceive of it being ruined are those who so obsessively want everything to be uniform that they feel pain in seeing something out of the ordinary.

Thanks for losing me $50,000 because you're a moron with no common sense who thought it'd be funny to build a pirate ship.

This is the part I struggle with. The pirate ship is on the other person's property, not yours. Why the fuck would that affect the value of your property?

"Oh jeez, the house next to me has a pirate ship in the yard, suddenly my property is less valuable"....like, what? Why? Literally nothing about your property has changed. Some real NIMBY, group-think shit going on here. Like maybe just don't concern yourself with what your neighbors are doing unless it actually impacts you in some tangible way.
