I dont think they will be caring about the view when they build up there.
It's still far in the future. At least decades I think. Who knows what the popular opinion will be until then.
Have you seen how people reacted to SpaceX sattelites destroying milkyway views?

That's nonsense. You can only see those satellites for an hour or so immediately after sunset, and immediately before sunrise. This is obvious when you think about it: the Starlink satellites are in very low orbits, so the sun has to be just below the horizon for sunlight to be able to reach them.
SpaceX has also done a lot of work making the satellites harder to see, with anti-reflective coatings, etc.
I wonder how many people bitching about this have actually seen Starlink satellites for real? I have plenty of times out in deep rural areas. But only for short periods of time. That's a good tradeoff to bring internet access to the entire world (including the rural areas that are dark enough to see them in the first place!).
I didnt know they were destroying the views...
Hopefully they will have something up there soon.
But I dont think humans could live up there indefinitely.
Yes, decades.. But I think we (humanity) will have something on the moon this decade. Maybe lunar orbit.
We have the space station up there already, right?
ISS in Low Earth orbit only. China is building a new one right now, too.
Humans always care about the view. We spend billions on telescopes.
l dont know....
Half the view in a city is obstructed by skyscrapers.
People get the views they can afford, friend. When I lived in the East Bay, we laughed at the prices people in San Francisco paid. You see we paid less, but had an actual view of San Fran! They paid more, and had a view of Oakland! 🤣🤣🤣
Hence why I am saying people dont care about the view.
The far side is ideal for telescopes that have the whole moon as a shield protecting from noise from earth 🌒
Also if we ever build industrial production on the moon - the far side wouldn't destroy our view.
