I live on 6 in a building in downtown Burlington. What I can see of back yards is minimal due to the trees. What I actually care to see is less than minimal. Mostly I appreciate the often stunning sunsets from my balcony along with the occasional lightning show from thunder storms that roll through in the spring and summer.
Yet when the a$$holes who live on the surface in one particular SFH hold all-night summer parties -- with 4AM bongo playing mind you -- I'd be the one intruding by looking down upon them from on high, according to planning staff opinion (an opinion shared here too, especially among the "Little" people).
