It's important that anyone wishing to build beside you doesn't directly interfere with your quality of life. For example, things like shading and privacy are two things that should be considered before a permit is issued.

Ignore the political slant. We can't freeze the city in time and pretend it's not growing at a rapid rate.
The centre of a 1.5M person city looks a lot different (and
needs to look a lot different) than a 750k person city.
It's not reasonable to buy a place and expect the type of buildings adjacent to your property to be the same for 50 years.
Yeah shadows and noise and stuff suck, no question. I'd love to be able to veto my neighbours selling their house to some family with a barking dog and screaming kids so that it doesn't reduce the enjoyment of my property. That's not reasonable though, is it? In being good citizens, well all have to suck up some change and some compromise as our city and the world changes around us.
