Set the OP's incident aside. What good reason is there for players not to have the option to hide the outdoor of other players from their personal view if they wish? Doing so does not remove the items or prevent them being seen by other players.

I've been very lucky over the years with the neighbors I've had at the sole plot that can be seen easily from my yard. Some of my friends have been not so lucky and had to live with it unless they were able to relocate. They too would have liked to have the option to hide their neighbor's outdoor furnishings from view.

I think the only caveat that those who want the option should consider is that they would be highly unlikely to hide only selected plots. It likely would be all or nothing. It probably wouldn't be limited to just the ward with their house. All that would be seen are the houses.

They need to ask themselves if being in a ward devoid of outdoor decoration (including their own house) would be better.
For me the only thing that matters is not having the landscape ruined by the lousy choices of neighbors. It being all or nothing is honestly an accepted caveat to it. I don't go to venues, and there's only like a couple friends' houses that I visit from time to time, for which it would literally just be toggle everything back on if I need to see to walk through their yard.
