So far everybody (myself included) has seen the neighbour as being the bad guy here.
Let me throw a "what if" at you: Let's say the chain link is going to cost you $500, and plain wood will cost you $1000; and cedar will cost $1500. Now let's say the neighbour says to you "Let's put up a cedar fence instead; you just pay what you would have for chain link."
Would you be agreeable?
