Whether he is causing any interference with the neighbors is irrelevant.
As
long as it's approved by the FCC (and any off-the-shelf device intended
for
the use in which he's applying it would be), the neighbors are required
by
law to accept any interference (just as he and I and other people in
similar
situations are required to accept interference from nearby AM
transmitters).

You have that backwards.

No, I don't.

A part 15 device must not cause interference to
others. Conversely the user of the part 15 device must accept
interference
from other users of the band. A local wireless (unlicensed) transmitter
would
typically be a part 15 device.

And as a certified Part 15 device, any inteference it may cause in another
Part 15 device (pretty much the only thing the neighbors are going to have)
is perfectly legal.

If he were running an illegal transmitter, that would be different. But a
legal transmitter can interfere with the neighbors until the cows come home,
and the FCC just doesn't care.
