>>You have certain rights when you buy property, but “a view” isn’t one of them.
I have a right to what I pay for. This is simply inarguable.
In most highrises, the view tends to make up a significant portion of the value. This is why units become more expensive the higher up they are: the view is better from a higher altitude.
So essentially, when a developer comes and builds another highrise next door, they are destroying a big part of the value of the original highrise units.
So, if I have a right to what I pay for, and someone is doing something to negatively affect that, the NIMBY argument becomes rather straight-forward.
(Again, these aren't my actual views. I'm simply saying I can sympathize with NIMBYs, even though I despise them.)
