Sorry OldDutch, but you need to come to terms that you live in the urban core of a city that has near doubled in population in just over 20 years. Views aren't owned property and they are always at risk of being lost to development.
Your viewpoint on the issue is solely to protect your own interests and does not look at the larger picture.
This is happening in Vancouver and is inevitably going to happen in Calgary.
