Disagree, if I make a factory in China that generates some ugly clouds so you can't see your beautiful sky anymore, then if you complain I give you a discount on my airlines so you can fly above the clouds and see the sky for the first time. It could happen if we let companies pollute for free.

I have a view over the ocean. Along comes Shell and builds an oil rig, thus spoiling my view.

I have a view over the ocean, 50 miles up the coast in another country a marina opens, and dozens of sailing ships start arriving over the hour.

I have a view, and an airport opens down the road, I'm now under a flight path, not only is my view obscured, I'm getting noise too.

There is a thing called pollution and light pollution is a thing,

So you have a home and someone makes noise so you can't sleep, you have a home and your neighbor has pig shit in his backyard and the smell enters in your yard.

Also I amargueing from a public(international) point of view. As an individual with terrible eyes sight I already can't see the stars anymore.
