My quesiton is why such situations happened at all. What kind of rye-
drunk nomenklaturist carved out a land parcel or issued a building
permit to build ONE property that is on both sides of the border?
Especially keeping in mind that no one had such authority. Two
bordering entities can design adjacent parcels, but one can design
one parcel spanning the border!
