I think years of neglect and contribution to continual DEvaluation of the city should be considered too. There are many property owners who negatively affect their neighbors and the entire city by not only not investing in their properties, but letting them accumulate trash, to dilapidate and to not maintain any aspect of their property, generally accelerating the deterioration of value of the entire neighborhood and city. Where is the right of the citizens to fight back and insist that their actions do not continue to negatively affect OUR rights and values? In celebrating the rights of individuals, it has always been held that your right does not extend to negatively affect my right.
