WTH? We do not protect pristine views in perpetuity. It is the rare place that has zoning laws that protect a view. People are free to move there. When you buy in a city, it is with the expectation that things will always be changing and other buildings may be built that block a view. Except for the rare parcel that is situated such that it's possible for a view blocking building to go up next door or across the street.
