eh, a shitty neighbor can make for an easy case on fence restrictions. Its one thing if you have a legitimate reason to put a high fence up, but removing all restrictions would make it really easy for a neighbor to fuck someone over. Say your neighbor is on your south side and puts up a fence that blocks a lot of sunlight to your land, now your garden is useless or you have to spend more money on lighting. Another example, though not for height, would be putting a fence up along your shared driveway up to the street, now theyve made it more dangerous for you to just get out of your house onto the road |

I get that people want it all but for example. Friend bought 26th floor corner apartment in a 32 story buiding with amazing view. 2 years later someone built another 32 story building next door blocking 30% of his view. Did he have some kind of right to prevent that? Another friend bought a lot and had a house built on it in a downtown-ish area. All houses in the area have no yard, at most they have a backyard porch big enough for a couple of chairs. His house now blocks most of the sunlight into at least one of the houses around his lot. His neighbor complains. If she wanted not to be blocked she really needed to by the land.
I don't see any other reasonable solution to these types of problems. The fence seems like yet another where the owner of the land should be able to build the tall fence. I say that as well as my mom used to sunbath topless in our backyard as a kid. She mostly took advantage of the fact she didn't expect anyone to look over the fence but the fence was only about 7ft high and houses around us all 1 story tall.
