How much do you want to bet that if tomorrow the city was to ease all of the viewcones east of Main Street, and a number of proposals went up that blocked the mountain views, that there would be an East Side backlash of people saying "Hey! How Come Our Views Aren't Preserved!? We Want Viewcones Just Like the One Percenters On The West Side!!!"

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
