Ocean Front and Back Property

Property on the beach always amazes me.  You have one house with a sandy back yard the butts right up to the beach and it's twice as much as the house right across the street.  Or even better hotel rooms on one side of the hotel cost twice as much to stay in as the ones that look out over the parking lot.  Why not change that?  If a hotel can charge more for a room with a view then does it matter if the view is real?  Perhaps you could use mirrors or fiber optics or video technology to project the beach from one side of the building to the "non-view" rooms on the other side of the building.  You could set it up so the projection was in the actual window.  You would have to pull the shades over it and everything.
