Having lived with water views, magnificent water views, in British Columbia for many years, my heart melts when views are blocked because I know how Douglas Firs will get you almost every time in the Pacific Northwest! The real issue in this thread is communication and negotiation when you live in clustered settings. Nothing can be resolved unless both parties are willing to at least discuss the issue and hear each others side. You may never agree, but you will have the chance to exchange opion and try to come to commanality. We all need to compromise when living in close proximity. It is not just about what you spend on your lot, it is about how you feel when you walk out your front door every day, and how you look forward to seeing those around you, and how you value community and your place in it.
