I found this on another site. I do not know who the author was or if it is true or not, but it is funny.

A city councilman, Mark Easton, lives in this neighborhood. He had a
beautiful view of the East Mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built. Apparently, the new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance.
Mark and his new neighbor had some great arguments about this as you can imagine - not great feelings. The new neighbor had to drop the roof line -
no doubt at great expense.
Recently, Mark Easton called the city and informed them that his new
neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate. When they went to Mark's home to see the vent view, this is what they found...

What a great idea.
[:D][:D][:D]
It would piss me off too if someone built a house there. That guy DID have a great view of the mountains. I wonder how much 18" affected his view though. It STILL seems pretty screwed up.
I'd be mad, too.
But, the right way to go about preserving a view is to buy the land next to yours so that you can guarantee nobody builds there.
I lived in the mountains (Evergreen CO) and had a gorgeous view of Indian Hills, the town literally below and of Denver. During the day, it was really neat. During the night, it was gorgeous.
The guy in the next lot over cleared out trees and built a monstrosity. It didn't block views, but I sure didn't like looking at it.
Lesson learned? If I want to preserve the view, but the land.
