I am so glad that the property lines are clearly marked in the sidewalk in my area. When they put in the sidewalks they stamped a 2" X 2" " + " in the concrete. In the back their is a fence that runs between the homes to the back of us. I was happy that was there because long before we owned the home someone had put in a strip of 4 inch wide pavers on one side of out lot. Only problem was that by the time they hit the sidewalk the pavers shave off about a foot of property giving it to the neighbors. I started maintaining that part of "their" yard after I figured out the lot line, from the small "+" stamped in the concrete. When we put in our front block wall fence it will be set to the original line.
I checked out that neighborhood and it looks like a nice place to live. Large lots. Homes that I saw from what was presented here look nice. So the man that is building the home is a preacher? Did I get that right? What is a preacher doing living on that street? Guessing that the money his church brings in does not go to the less fortunate.
Wouldn't it be a better compromise to bring both driveways together and just have a wider entry point? I thought that when I checked the map view others had done that exact thing.

It's 2015. Many honest preachers and pastors have income streams unrelated to their church. I know many pastors that have real estate, just like the guy in the story. Doesn't it make sense to have other ways to earn passive income so that the church's money isn't needed?
Another common source of personal income is authorship and writing books.
Pathetic, the neighbor couldn't even talk about it first? Glad I don't have him as a neighbor!
No kidding. And it's only the front lawn, which mostly serves to make the neighborhood look nice for everyone else who drives down the street. Sure, it's your land, and you paid for it, so why not offer to let the guy keep that little plot for a price?
Now what the neighbor needs to do is give the older gentleman written permission to use that strip of property. In doing so, he will avoid any future reference to 'adverse possession'.
