Some people about a block toward the beach from us are adding on (by building up). Adding on is fine, but building up means that we are going to lose a big chunk of our already tiny view. The first shot is from the sidewalk in front of our nextdoor neighbors' house. You can see the framed-in addition popping up. The second shot is from our living room (standing on the couch). You can see how much view we're going to lose once they start slapping on walls and roofs.
I am almost certain this means we're going to have to go up at least one story ourselves. That will happen when I finally win the lottery (which I don't ever play) or Publishers' Clearinghouse Sweepstakes (which I never enter).
