3.John and Kelsey live in a house in Missouri that they purchased for $250,000. The town has never had a garbage dump and the city government has spent millions of dollars over the years sending the town's trash to a dump located in a different part of the state. In order to save money, the town contracts with Mr. Barr, the president of a waste management company, to build and maintain a landfill at the edge of the town. Within six months, the landfill is operational. Eventually, as more and more of the town's trash gets dumped into the landfill, the residents of the town are subjected to the odor that the landfill gives off. The odor is not constant but, on windy days, it is noticeable. As a result, the house that John and Kelsey bought for $250,000 is reduced in value to $240,000. If John sues the town for nuisance, which of the following is most likely to occur?
Defend your answer/ Win, because his house's value has been reduced.
Win, because John moved to the neighborhood before the landfill opened.
Lose, because the odor is not constant. Lose, because benefits of the landfill outweigh the damage done to John.
