[WSBARP] House built, blocks PC's view - practical recourse

[Tom Lee]

Hello Braintrust,

PC has a neighbor building a house which is only about 7 feet away from
PC's property lot line. The covenants clearly state that the building
setback must be 20 feet from all lot lines. Worse, Neighbor's home
construction has completely blocked PC's view of the Columbia River - PC
bought his house for the river view. PC feels the situation has devalued
his house and property as a whole.

Does anyone have practical legal advice on how to address this situation?
Given the neighbor's house is already built, I am worried about just
jumping into a lawsuit because I am wary about the court granting relief
for what the PC probably wants, which is for the neighbor to tear down his
house.

Thoughts?

Best,
Tom
