Dear PAO,

I have a parcel of land located in a subdivision. The lot adjacent to mine is designated as an open space where the homeowners used to gather in the afternoons for recreational activities. However, since a typhoon destroyed most of the garden in the open space, the homeowners no longer go there. My neighbor, Danny, who loves to cultivate plants, fixed the garden in the open space. Now, he no longer allows other homeowners to use the open space and demands that the land he gardened must be sold to him since he rehabilitated the said land. Can the open space in a subdivision be sold and converted into a residential lot?
