Nancy Federico, 77, has lived at her apartment on La Playa Street, behind the motel, for 43 years and has an ocean view. When the building goes up, she won’t be able to see the ocean anymore.
“I moved here for that view,” said Federico. “I pay for that view, and then you want to take it away from me and give it to somebody else? How are you going to compensate me? You’ve got to compensate me, or do I have to file a lawsuit?”
The lawsuit counter is that way, ma’am. 
You aren’t paying for the view, you are paying for housing you dumb shit.
I get it, she enjoyed the view for more than half her life, but she isn’t entitled to the view. It’s not like they are kicking her out of her home or something. Come back when they eminent domain your ass to build a strip mall or golf course.
