unfortunately the water view is not natural, has gators which can eat grandchildren, and the golf course is a nemesis, a foe to be wrestled with regularly, and therefore we don't need the constant reminder of the struggle....

It’s not just the view one is paying for, it’s the privacy that comes along with it, which is priceless. A big part of the reason we spend so much time outside in our pool/birdcage is the privacy. If we were looking out an other homes instead of a wildlife preserve there is no way we would get the same level of enjoyment out of our property. I suppose using the premium cost for more house would be worth it for folks who spend all of their time at home inside the house?
