Don't give me that tired old privacy argument either
Fine, let's use the current precedent set by the courts: "public view" means from a public place with the unaided eyes. Technologies such as drone flights, infrared cameras, etc, can see things that are not "in the public view", which means that using these technologies to bring any complaint alleging violation of CC&R and/or County Code is effectively based on evidence which is not admissible in a court proceeding.
County's Pictometry system suffers from this same limitation, but nobody dares sue County, because win or lose, you have to move off the island.
To wax philosophical: why can't they just leave us alone to live our lives in peace? Isn't it enough that we pay plenty taxes (property, fuel, GET) and receive few (if any) services?
