People Who Live on the Edge of Small Lakes Sometimes

Essay

People who live on the edge of small lakes sometimes have break walls constructed on their property by the shore.A break wall is typically a vertical column of wood or concrete that prevents high water levels from covering part of the owner's property,reducing the size of the beach,and/or eroding the yard.However,several communities have restricted property owners from building break walls.Can you think of a reason for that? Hint: Think about potential externalities of building a break wall.
