I bought a house in 1993 with a good view. Neighbor built house where front window viewed. Stupid me, should have thought about it but the lot was a drainage pond for a year or so after I moved in, then suddenly got filled with dirt and a house built right across my living room window.
But it is my own fault for not noticing that the drainage lot would be eventually filled in. Oh well, was a nice house to live in and I enjoyed living there. Sold in 1996.
- idanoeman 9y agoYeah, that sucks for you. But again - you didn't own the view, you just expected the view to be there. If you wanted to own the view, you'd have to own all the land in eyeshot.
- saosebastiao 9y agoYou don’t have to own the land. A view easement would suffice.
- EADGBE 9y ago> but the lot was a drainage pond for a year or so That's okay. Last laugh as I'm sure they're dealing with settling/water issues (especially if there's a basement). 'Member when builders used to build around the landscape? I loved growing up with 100-year-old maples (especially around fall) I 'member. Now they're stacking 3x median homes right next to each other.
