Dear Amy: I live near a lovely bay. My neighbors on the bay side have unobstructed views. I live across the street, so I only have a pocket view, which gives me enormous pleasure. I love it so much, that I added 50 feet to my kitchen several years ago to expand my view. Unfortunately, my across-the-street neighbor has a huge tree which is quickly expanding horizontally, thus blocking out more and more of my view with every month.
