I do suspect and strongly hope that the more Duval homeowners learn about the new development, the more they will learn it won't be a problem. My guess and hope is that it will be landscaped in such a way as to add beauty to their surroundings, not subtract from it.

It also seems unlikely that it will be built in such a way that residents of the assisted living complex can see into their homes and vise versa. I don't blame them at all for asking questions and seeking answers. I just think that when all is said and done it's going to end up being not only without detriment but gorgeous.
There is nothing gorgeous about blocking the view of beautiful blue sky, especially when anyone can look down on your property. Walls are built or landscaped for privacy. This is one heck of a huge wall and it has windows too. I'm thankful I am not one of those unlucky unsuspecting homeowners.
