Maybe you could offer them a house warming gift of a few Cottonwood trees, and suggest that they would look lovely, planted where you could look out and see them, from your yard.
Should I do this?

My biggest concern would be the necessary height of the wall, from wherever you choose not be seen....If you can't see them, they can't see you. I notice their house is elevated on about 4' of fill, and drops sharply, to the edge of your property.
You need someone with a transit level and a measuring rod to determine that. At a certain height, it becomes an engineering project...A wide footer, rebar every 4', and a top lintel. Maybe even some buttresses, to eliminate wind damage.
Honestly, we are probably talking about a wall 15' tall.

Build the fence. Then build a shooting range. Then host a machine gun shoot. That'll shake em up!

You hit the nail on the head I have no idea on how high to build this fence. I could build this sucker & the owner would be laughing. I'll figure it out trust me. But your very observant. Thanks 7L. Its weird I'm on a hill & it looks sraight down from there.

HOw tall does bamboo grow??

I have bamboo that over 30' tall, and about 2" in diameter. I think the larger stuff grows even taller....Off to Google.

It's not money down the drain, it's money to give you comfort and privacy. It's probably cheaper than moving to somewhere more remote. I know that this must be very difficult for you, change is never easy, but it is to some extent inevitable. It helps to try to be at peace with those things that you can't change, be thoughtful in the changes you can make, and be wise in figuring out the borders of your influence.
Again, I wish you peace. In your circumstances, building a fence is probably the wise choice, for the comfort of you and your new neighbors.
It saddens me the level of vitriol in this thread against people, potential neighbors, and the assumptions everyone is making about people that they don't even know. There are certainly evil people out there, but there are also a lot of wonderful people. Even some of the people who don't seem so wonderful have often become that way through trials that you may not even be able to imagine.
It seems fashionable these days to ascribe all sorts of horrible motives to people we disagree with. I wish we could disagree with equanimity and respect. It's not always easy.
I don't know that my thoughts are helpful to anyone but myself at this point, so I'll leave the thread now.

I bet that would work better for him then...

... how long does it take to grow a decent height that would help him out??
