Kevin Costner, a well-known Hollywood actor and director, is presently facing a lawsuit from his neighbor over a view. The complaint claims that Costner’s home blocks the neighbor’s picturesque view of the Pacific Ocean. The issue has sparked interest owing to the high-profile character of the people involved, as well as the possible ramifications for property rights and zoning regulations.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Costner has a history of litigation.

Rick Grimm, a retired professor who owns land near Costner’s residence in Carpinteria, California, filed the claim. Grimm believes Costner’s berm building and tree planting have impeded his view of the ocean. Grimm claims that Costner purposely put the berm and trees to obscure his view and that the construction violates municipal zoning restrictions.
Kevin Costner reacts to family separations at the border, saying he’s “not recognizing America right now”: “We have to do better — we’ve been about more, we can be about more — and right now we’re acting really small.” https://t.co/ZcisTUyoot pic.twitter.com/kp1JL5gp0c
