Some creators are complete megalomaniacs. I remember a case (Santa Cruz I 
think) where the painter sued to prevent the demolition of a building because 
his mural was on the side, despite the fact that he sold the mural and did 
not own the building.

I would consider any architect that told me I couldn't "place a garage 
between living room and bedroom" to be a complete megalomaniac.
