You can mock, but if someone bought a house, and paid a lot for it so they can view the river, then this is a reasonable concern.

In that case and if you truly own something like a view. I'd suggest something like that should be taxed too. And since the person owning it puts a premium value to it. Something in the ballpark of 40% of the net price of the home extra apart from the property taxes is perfectly justifiable.

They're more than welcome to buy the air rights to the lots between them and the river.
