I have to say that the people complaining are idiots. There is nothing they can do to stop what their new neighbors are doing.

Even if the plans were given approval the neighbors can force the city to enforce building codes. Happens all the time up to the energy and budgets of the various parties. The builder has put himself somewhat in the odd-man-out position with that "vent". Still, sounds like the deal is close to done. Too bad. Very often with these disputes the builder is a developer without any real intention of living there and therefore they don't care about effects on the neighborhood. If the builder really intends to live there he should have worked this out beforehand. They _all_ should have acted like adults. Never makes for a happy living arrangement to have a bunch of homeowners at odds.
