Of course, it is. However sometimes it is possible and other times not without a little nudging. Our founding fathers lived in a much different world where each area is not really affecting the other too much. Today, it is much different. If your nearest neighbour is 200 miles away, you can leave him do what he wants. Today, we have brought that neighbour much closer and so you might have to be concerned if his area is a mess.
